| Journey to Me traces the personal path one courageous woman takes following the shock of a cancer diagnosis, through treatment and an arguably even bigger challenge – surviving survival. About the Book Still coping with the fall out from the breakdown of her 24 year marriage and the strain of being the sole carer of her disabled teenage daughter, Jane Gillespie nearly didn't make time for her first-ever mammogram. After all, she had recently had her annual physical, including a breast examination, and been given the all clear. So imagine her shock when she was told she had cancer! This inspiring and informative book offers hope to people living with cancer. Jane provides a road map to those forced to explore the unknown and therefore often frightening territory of medical options. Journey to Me is based on a journal the author kept while undergoing treatment. It tells the warts and all story of her cancer Journey, as she shares with us her desperate attempts to make sense of her life while facing up to her mortality. You will cry, laugh, be outraged, informed and inspired. But ultimately you will rejoice as she emerges from the shadows into the sunlight of a new fulfilling and joyful life.
