I remember reading this book when I was a teenager and loving the book. My library had the ebook so i checked it out to see if it was how i remembered it. It was. I rated this book a 3 out of 5 stars.

I love Kate Bowler's podcast so enjoyed reading this short memoir about her experience of being diagnosed with Stage 4 colon cancer at the age of 35 and the subsequent medical treatment and mistreatment she received. She is not in remission so I knew there was a happy ending!

A sweet heartbreaking book about a boy who confronts living with / dying of cancer. I teared up in places. Did not expect to like it so much so this was a pleasant surprise.

This book tells the fascinating story of the development of Herceptin, a targeted antibody treatment for breast and ovarian cancer that attacks a specific receptor called HER-2. Herceptin is one of the treatments I am receiving, so this was very personally relevant! It‘s an amazing treatment that fights cancer directly without real side effects, unlike chemo. The book tells the stories of the scientists and biotech companies along with many women

Clare-Dragonfly …who fought breast cancer and were treated, or not, with Herceptin. 3mo
AmyG Wishing you all the best with your treatment. 👊 3mo
SamAnne Would you be willing to email with me on your experience with it? And book stacked. Samannemace at gmail. I have the same. Did radiation and successful surgery but postponed chemo to travel and live life this year. My doctor told me it would “smash me into the ground” for 6 months and it could me 2-5 years to feel a sense of normalcy. And likely give me heart damage. Hope I‘m not overstepping here. I don‘t know anyone personally with HER2 (edited) 3mo

SamAnne I‘m also reading Song of the Cell right that I think also discusses Herceptin. 3mo
SamAnne And wishing you a strong recovery! They want me to take a chemo and Herceptin. Ordering this book ASAP. Have been on the fence…. Apologies for any over sharing here. (edited) 3mo
Clare-Dragonfly @SamAnne Sure, I‘ll send you an email! Short version: chemo sucks but it‘s a hell of a lot better than dying of cancer 🤷🏻‍♀️ 3mo
SamAnne @Clare-Dragonfly for me, to a point. Quality of my years is also important to me. Hah! So I traveled and lived it up this year. Doctors aren‘t happy, but some nurses and techs have whispered to me: “good for you. Sometimes the cure is worse than the disease.” I glad you are making it through! 3mo
