In this memoir, Lisa Febre, an energetic, physically fit forty-seven-year-old, shares her experience with Stage 4C colon cancer. She walks the reader through her symptoms, her diagnosis, and her treatments, detailing her physical reactions, and more importantly, her emotional reactions. She reveals her new dynamic with her husband, family, and friends, both old and new. Faced with almost impossible odds, she mustered positivity and strength to fight off a demon hell-bent on destroying her.
Enlightening, informative, inspiring, and unforgettable, this memoir benefited and affected me like no other. Neither a cancer survivor nor a friend or relative of someone who experienced extensive chemotherapy and radiation, this book was an eye-opening experience that will forever change the way I see and think about cancer. Yes, her story evoked an intense fear of the disease, but that fear is tempered by Lisa’s inspiring account of how her strength, both physical and emotional, and her positive outlook on life saw her through this most difficult of times and turned it into a celebration of life. This memoir was written with a skill that is all the more wondrous when you consider the intensity and the closeness of the author’s emotions while writing it. Thank you, Lisa, for sharing your journey.
Sublime Line: “A masterfully written memoir that touches, moves, inspires and enlightens – a definite must-read.”
