Life After Breasts

A cancer survivor, not a victim …

When Lynette heard the news that she had cancer and was going to loose her right breast she was devastated.

“No woman is going to be happy about loosing her breasts; for many they are a part of what defines them as a woman,” she says.

Of course, our breasts don’t define us as women, nor should they. When she lost her right breast, and later her left, she didn’t become less of a woman ( although she was asked if she felt that way ).

This book tells us a little of her life leading up to hearing that devastating news, her journey through breast cancer, and the side effects of her particularly aggressive Chemotherapy. She drew on her faith in God, and her inner strength, and, three and a half years after her first mastectomy, had her second and started down the path of breast reconstruction.

… But it doesn’t stop there. Since surviving the cancer (and chemotherapy), Lynette has authored 3 novels and a biography, and has written many short stories. She has also recorded a Gospel CD, an abstract instrumental CD, and she sings and plays the harp in a music group.
