Synopsis

This is the autobiography of a young Austin, Texas, woman and her 5-year battle with breast cancer. The narrative takes us from her original diagnosis (only 3 months after she was married) through her search for the right doctor, chemotherapy, mastectomies, and the birth of her child by way of a surrogate. Written in a fresh, especially crisp voice, the story is infused with hope, inspiration, and wit, with an extra dose of sarcasm.

About this title

About the Author:

COURTNEY BAX LASATER (1980-2016) was a wife, mother and author who was diagnosed with breast cancer at age 30. Born in Houston, Texas, she was a resident of Austin for most of her adult life. She earned Bachelor's and Master's degrees in marketing from Texas A&M University. In an effort to help others with cancer, and as a legacy to her son, she wrote a book recounting her battle with the dreaded disease and what she learned along the way.

From the Inside Flap:

Only three months after her wedding day, Courtney Bax Lasater discovered a suspicious lump in her armpit that proved to be the first sign of breast cancer. Thus began a 5-year series of events that involved chemotherapy, radiation, more than a dozen operations and medical procedures - and the birth of her child by way of surrogate. She wrote this autobiography in an effort to help other who have cancer, and as a legacy for her son. Her writing is infused with hope, determination, wit, wisdom and - as she was fond of saying - an extra dose of sarcasm. Courtney's story is a study in the indomitability of the human spirit, an unforgettable picture of what courage looks like.
