Synopsis

Stronger Than Before is the first complete guide to supporting yourself through breast cancer: physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. Divided into three parts, this audiobook is the self-care bible for breast cancer, written by a breast cancer survivor. Part One introduces readers to the language of their illness, explaining the different types and stages of their diagnosis, and outlines the standard treatments they are likely to be offered, as well as the alternatives. This section also includes practical tips on asking doctors the right questions and dealing with the stress of hospital visits. Part Two looks at the illness as a transformative journey, exploring the breast cancer personality and how to start unravelling unhelpful emotional patterns and behaviours. Listeners will learn how to manage their emotional bandwidth while in treatment and, most importantly, how to create meaning from this experience, to live more soulfully and find their purpose - discovering the potential for post-traumatic growth within the illness. Part Three explores life after breast cancer, covering reconstruction, an anti-cancer lifestyle to prevent recurrence and how to leave the identity of a patient behind and move into a post-cancer mindset. This includes advice for friends and family, too. This is a practical, holistic handbook for every stage of the breast cancer journey. Wherever the listener, or their loved one, is on that journey, it has helpful information, advice, tips and techniques to surviving and thriving stronger than before.
