How Does it Feel? - Reflections on a Year in the Life of One Woman, Following a Diagnosis of Bowel Cancer (Paperback)

"What are you going to do now?" my teacher colleagues asked, as I packed away my things after my retirement party. I replied, "I might like to write a book"- never guessing that the subject of the book was going to be - bowel cancer. It was only three days later that I received my diagnosis. "How does it feel?" (reflections on a year in the life of one woman following a diagnosis of bowel cancer), is a moving story of Ann's battle with bowel cancer, through surgery and chemotherapy. It includes a journal which describes the day to day ups and downs of illness; and also an anthology of pictures and poems through which Ann expresses her inner journey. This book will provide encouragement to all who suffer from cancer. Ann's story is told with honesty and directness and this book expresses well the complexities of the cancer experience. Ann's reflections lift the spirit and offer a glimpse of the spiritual meaning found in the simple things of life, which become all the more precious at times of crisis.
