When Hard Lilies Cry

When Hard Lilies Cry describes my 26 years journey battling two cancers and preventing two more.

Diagnosed with breast cancer. How do you deal with that? How do you wait for weeks not knowing whether you will live or die? How do you inform your children and raise them while going through treatment? How to cope with your family during chemo and radiotherapy? Can you accept the alteration of your figure after mastectomy? Will your husband leave you? How do you handle your family and friends desire to “help” you through it? What do you do when a family member or friend is diagnosed with cancer? How do you come to terms with it as a person of faith? Why me? Oh God, I don’t deserve this! For a woman of science do you base your vital decisions on science or gut feeling not listening to your doctors’ advice?

This book helped me and will guide you to evaluate ourselves deeply and understand the boundaries of our comfort zone. It will also be an inspiration and a benefit to you, your family, and friends in handling the tensions and complexities of life.

Writing this book made me and now you, more confident and empowered in facing and dealing with hard times or life-threatening situations. It helped me expand my comfort zone and will do for you too. I hope to offer you some guidance to address some of the challenges you are facing and provide comfort as much as possible.
