This Book Changed My Life

Lenor's story of living through extremely frightening circumstances is truly mouth dropping amazing. Not only did she face being diagnosed with a very rare bone cancer, but the only effective treatment for her was a full amputation (hemipelvectomy) with surgical removal of her leg and a portion of her pelvis. During a time in my life when faced with the same diagnosis, and so discouraged I was given this book which gave me the hope to carry on. Lenor's story of how she dealt with her diagnosis, her surgical experience and her positive recovery is more than inspiring. No, this book is not gory, it is uplifting and positive and teaches how to get inner strength through such an incredibly devastating life circumstance. Even without facing such medical possibilities, this is a book for anyone to benefit from reading.
