Descriere

Persevere: A Life with Cancer is a book for people living with cancer and those who love and care about them. When Lisa Bonchek Adams was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2006 at the age of 37, she decided to start writing a blog about her life as a legacy to leave for herfamily. Her readership grew quickly, and Lisa discovered she had aremarkable gift for expressing what others could not find the words tosay. Lisa fearlessly addressed difficult topics such as what to say tofriends and family; how to make good decisions and handle bad news; and, mostimportantly, how to keep going when things start to seem hopeless. She helped those with cancer feel understood, and those without cancer tounderstand. When Lisa died in 2015, her readers asked for a book that would bring togetherher most popular writings in one place. Persevere: A Life With Cancer is the result. Equal parts poetry, journal, and memoir, it is a moving and inspiring portrait of what it means to live with a terminal illness, and a guide for patients, families, friends, and caregivers.
