2 posts | 1 read | 1 to read
'It's as if Hayley has been inside my head and captured every thought I had during treatment . . . an honest, brave, no-holds barred account' Liz O'Riordan, surgeon and breast cancer survivor 'Hilarious, complex, honest and profound. Every page made me laugh. Most of them also made me cry.' Ian Dunt, political journalist and broadcaster This is a cancer story you'll actually want to read. With humour and honesty, it details Hayley Gullen's fight for individuality during the toughest time of her life. But this is no ordinary account. Hayley takes you on her journey with an uplifting, quirky graphic memoir which outlines her breast cancer diagnosis at the age of 37. She illustrates her experiences navigating the NHS and the importance of maintaining her sense of self throughout the dehumanising process of cancer treatment. The storytelling and cartoons are perfectly paired to show the emotional ups and downs of living with cancer. This book is a companion for anyone facing treatment, helping them to feel less alone, as well as for their loved ones.

Honest account of breast cancer treatment on the NHS, with humour but still pretty brutal. The author was 37 when diagnosed.
