Written for women diagnosed with breast cancer, FlatTop takes readers step-by-step through the journey, offering insights that are often humorous and always honest. From telling family and friends to tapping into the spiritual strength needed to weather the storm of surgery, chemo, radiation and recovery, Donna Wodianka shares her very personal account of what worked for her - and what didn't - and how she came to see cancer as a gift as well as the challenge of a lifetime. "If you don't like to swear, then cancer probably isn't the disease for you," she teases, going on to suggest ways of coping with the unique struggles that become daily routine for those with breast cancer. She encourages women to move forward with confidence, resolve and the understanding that they don't need superpowers to get through their cancer experience. "Everything you need is already inside you," she says. For women who face the diagnosis no one ever wants to hear, FlatTop is a warm, supportive companion, always on hand to share a story and a reassuring smile that lets every reader know unequivocally: You are never alone.
