Being Sarah

'Highly Commended' by the British Medical Association in their Book Awards 2011, and described as 'well-written and intelligent'. Being Sarah is a true story about choice, control and breast cancer, It is a life-affirming, incredibly honest, opinionated, humorous and thought-provoking read. It follows Sarah on her breast cancer odyssey, as she starts looking for a treatment plan that suits her, asking for choices, for second opinions, and questions. And there are so many questions: in a field where so little is certain, what's best for me? Why do we concentrate on cure rather than prevention? Is our terror about breast cancer sanitised and diluted by the 'pink' movement? And will I die? And there aren't always answers. From the minutiae of getting through each day to the wider feelings of rage, hope, sadness, fear, loss, joy and helplessness, Being Sarah is about life, death, questions, options and choices.
