After the cure : the untold stories of breast cancer survivors / Emily K. Abel and Saskia Subramanian ; foreword by Patricia A. Ganz.

The feisty woman's breast cancer book / by Elaine Ratner.

"PRESCRIPTIONS is an artists' books collection by 82 artists from 15 countries, which responds to those themes of wellbeing and medicine [...] Bringing together books on cancer, chronic illness, disability, mental health, surgery, medicine and wellbeing, this volume reveals the empowering role of book art and its potential to become an alternative kind of prescription. The title PRESCRIPTIONS is taken from Martha A. Hall's artists' books. From 1998 until her death in 2003 Hall documented her experience with breast cancer and interactions with the medical community, through intimate, yet complex handmade books. The physical act of making books was a powerful part of Hall's healing. It allowed her to express emotions that words alone were often inadequate to communicate."--From preface.

Prescriptions : artists' books on wellbeing and medicine / edited by Stella Bolaki and Egidija Čiricaitė.

The inflatable woman / Rachael Ball.

"Half the UK population will receive a diagnosis of cancer at some point in their lives and most people will know someone who has been affected by this complex disease. Drawing from three personal experiences with cancer alongside her professional knowledge as a counsellor and personal coach, Rebecca Brazier chronicles her journey through diagnosis, treatment and recovery. the Two Faces of Cancer addresses the trauma which cancer creates and explores why cancer is difficult to recover from both personally and within society. It describes the devastation and powerful feelings cancer created for Rebecca and how shre channelled these to create a meaningful life. It also draws from Rebecca's professional knowledge to analyse the emotional and psychological imact of cancer and to suggest routes to recovery."--From cover.

Stress and breast cancer / edited by Cary L. Cooper.

"Are you weary of stories portraying cancer as merely a bump in the road, an experience to be grateful for or a chance for personal enlightenment? Nancy Stordahl shares about her breast cancer experience while intertwining memories about what it was like to be a caregiver for her mother who died from metastatic breast cancer. Originating from personal, unrestrained journal entries, this strikingly frank memoir gives readers a glimpse into cancer's messy realities including the multitude of emotions that arise when a family is catapulted into the world of cancer chaos. This is truth-telling from a not-so-pretty-in-pink perspective, resulting in an honest, realistic portrait of family, cancer and loss that will encourage others facing similar trials to ditch the societal expectations and instead do things their own way. You don't have to smile your way through cancer."--Amazon.

192 pages : black and white illustrations ; 23 cm
