Book Cover & Preview Text
Foreword by Prof S D Heys: "I have read stories of how people with cancers are affected and I am sure you have. But this book is different as you will find out when you read it. It is a story about fear, and the fear for Sonja was breast cancer and all that entails. It is a story of how one person had to face up to that fear, how they looked it straight in the eye and how they set about not only conquering the fear for themselves but then, armed with a team of friends, turned that fear on itself and joined in the fight against cancer with their activities. This is a book that you will not be able to put down. It will make you sad, it will make you happy, it will make you think and reflect. What if….what if this was me….? How would I face up to what lies ahead and what might or might not? This story will inspire you, it has inspired us the doctors and nurses who look after patients with cancer. This is pure inspiration on paper! As Sonja says in the book…………”this is how it is”.

About the Book
Sonja's uplifting account of her cancer journey proves every cloud really does have a silver lining. Family bonds strengthened, friendships renewed and lifelong allegiances forged...just some of the positive things to come out of the darkest time of Sonja's life. As the young mother of two takes on cancer head on, there's one thing that's never compromised... style. It would take more than a tumour to make this fashionista abandon the bling.
