Chemosabee : A Triathlete's Journey Through the First Year of Breast Cancer

See all formats and editions

One in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime.

Triathlete and psychotherapist, Nancy Reinisch became a statistic at fifty-three when a lump in her breast was diagnosed as invasive breast cancer. "Chemosabee" is the story of her writings, photos, and special words of wisdom from friends and family, as she candidly shares her battle to maintain her health, fitness, and sanity throughout her treatments.

Reinisch uses her psychotherapy skills and coaching tips to work through the physical and emotional roadblocks that surfaced during her year of chemotherapy, surgery, bilateral mastectomies, reconstructive surgery, and BRCA 2 diagnosis.

The book is for your mother, sister, daughter, wife, or friend who has been diagnosed with breast cancer.

Reinisch's style is both inspirational and informational.

She doesn't preach how to get through cancer, she simply describes in a humorous and straightforward manner what worked for her during her journey.

In addition, Reinisch includes a personal photo gallery of surgical images not generally found in cancer help books. She included these photos to help women make the difficult decisions that are necessary during breast cancer diagnosis.
