Country of Cancer: Learning to live again

By Linda DeNicola

One day you are swimming 30 laps in your backyard pool and the next day, you are on an unplanned journey. Learning that you have cancer is like traveling to another country where you have to learn the language and navigate through uncharted territory. There are people along the way to help you, but ultimately you have to make decisions for yourself. In this memoir, the author invites you to take the very personal journey with her and gives the reader a glimpse into the sea of chemotherapy decisions and ramifications. Besides the author, characters included in this warm and very readable work are doctors, nurses, family members and Super Storm Sandy. The storm creates chaos and the rest of the supportive people in her book, calm the waters. In addition, art, writing and e-mail communications keep the author moving forward and digging deeper into her reserves. The book ends when she is cancer free and ready to recommit to her life.
