PURPOSE FOR THIS BOOK I want to help others who are facing Triple Negative or any type of cancer, by sharing how one frightened woman came to deal with it.so they may have some insight as to what they might expect. Although there were people available to talk to, I found that even though survivors and the hospital staff were supportive of what I was going through, they didn't go into personal detail. Reading technical books doesn't really hit the nail on the head of the full personal experience. I sent out my emails to friends and family and during that time, one of my friends encouraged me to share my experience to inspire other women who were facing the same thing I went through. I know that everyone will have a different story and side affects. I hope that my experience will help everyone to hold onto their positive attitude, see humor along the way and find the warrior inside them to help them be brave.
