Nonfiction / Journal / Cancer
A breast cancer journal. I really wanted the journal to be full of life and
colourful. The illustrations made it come to life, I find them so inspiring
and I hope you do as well!
This book has been a genuine labor of love. It is full of purpose and hope.
Everything you see is my vision come true. Cancer threatens everything you
believed to be true, I had my chemo-port removed and flew to Atlanta later
that day, on the flight back, I believe it was a 6AM flight, all I wanted to
do was sleep for the 2 hour flight. Instead, this idea for a bookmark
started forming in my head. I figured lots of people read in waiting rooms
and chemo suites etc., so it made sense to create bookmarks with little
quips to lift the spirit during these waits. Well, the ideas were flowing so
fast that I couldn’t write fast enough and I had no paper, so I wrote
on the plane barf bag (I still have it). It became apparent I had a lot more
to say than a bookmark could hold. I still plan to make bookmarks some day
soon.
I have included prompts for questions to ask. Symptom trackers to report to
providers. Daily prompts to do something intentionally kind and uplifting in
small bites because some days are really tough and it becomes difficult to
remember the amazing person you were prior to a breast cancer diagnosis and
treatment. I am truly proud of it. There is a prayer/meditation script
written by one of my dearest friends who chose words that can resonate with
anyone regardless of faith or the absence thereof and in any tough life
situation. There is a feature to track daily water intake and so much
more.
