Description
You Can Get Through This by Domini Stuart
When Domini Stuart was diagnosed with breast cancer she kept on hearing that ‘staying positive is the most important thing’. This made her more depressed than ever…did people really think she should cheer up and stay perky through nine months of surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy?
Over time, she learned that staying positive doesn’t mean slapping a smile on your face and pretending you’re not hurting or scared. It means being kind to yourself, accepting your feelings and then finding ways to feel better.
The strategies in this book made a huge difference to the way she coped with breast cancer and, more than a decade later, they’re still helping her to feel better in everyday life
“You and your book became my inspiration. I read ‘You can get through this!’ over and over and over again – you were my best friend through the whole experience.” Jacqui, Victoria
“I think that it should be mandatory reading for all of my patients – it does more than any medical or nursing staff could to allay the fears that all women have at their first consultation with me. It is extremely well written, simple, approachable and, best of all, funny!”
