RPL - Author Series Agalia Baker - If Cancer is a Gift, Can I Return it? In-Person
Agalia Baker - If Cancer is a Gift, Can I Return it?
It is based upon breast cancer, the grief process, and my personal experiences. She is a retired advanced practice nurse and alumna of ATU
From the author..."I wrote this book because I went through breast cancer realizing that I needed help that I could not find at the time. Writing a how-to book on breast cancer is not possible because there are too many variables. The needs of someone diagnosed in their 50s are different from those diagnosed in their 30s. Cancer types, prognoses, and treatments are so different but I found a common denominator which is grief. Cancer means loss, many losses. I wrote my book to explain the mental and emotional aspects of grief so that readers can understand why they are so impacted and with understanding, be able to give themselves a bit of grace for getting through it. My book is directed not only at the person diagnosed with cancer and their loved ones but also at the medical community to highlight the importance of mental and emotional support concurrent with treatment."
