Living Like A Lady When You Have Cancer

About the Book

“When you have a cancer diagnosis, life goes on. I saw this with my teenager battling leukemia. She still had to go out in public and to school despite no hair and the roundness from her chemo. Little things can make a big difference in how you feel navigating the world looking so differently. Donna’s book has helpful perspective on how to do this, feeling and looking the best you can. It is a must read if you are living your life while battling for it.”
— Cindy Tripp, parent

“This book is so relevant and thoughtful for anyone struggling with all the effects of cancer that make life difficult. It is the perfect read for patients and caregivers. Our family has been touched by many kinds of cancer and I only wish that we had a resource with the perfect tips for the problems no one warns you of!!”
— Virginia Howell
