Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Uk Paperback Edition. While hundreds of thousands of women a year discover that they have breast cancer and millions more are living with the aftermath and uncertainty of the disease, the circumstances of Gayle Feldman's diagnosis were almost uniquely poignant. When still a teenager, she had seen her own mother die tragically young of cancer. The experience devasted her family and coloured and shaped her entire life. She was forty years old and eight months pregnant when she discovered a lump in her left breast. There followed an artificially induced fifty-hour labour and delivery of a healthy son, Benjamin; two biopsies, and a mastectomy - all within two and a half weeks. You Don't Have To Be Your Mother movingly recounts Gayle's experience and remembers that of her mother, but it is also about family and friendship, taking in the generation of her grandmother - who also died young of cancer - and the steadfast support of a loving husband, father and sisters. It is certain to take its place as a classic of the burgeoning movement among women determined to conquer the medical and personal devestations of breast cancer and win back control of their bodies and lives. No one, man or woman, who reads this compelling story will be unmoved by its quiet heroism.(We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.).

While 180, 000 American women a year discover that they have breast cancer and millions more are living with the aftermath and uncertainty of the disease, the circumstances of Gayle Feldman's diagnosis were almost uniquely poignant. This is the moving memoir of a woman who discovered she had breast cancer when she was eight months pregnant--and the same age as her mother was when she died of breast cancer in her 40's. In a period of less than three weeks, Feldman (an editor at Publishers Weekly) had her baby's birth induced and her breast removed. The baby was healthy and the operation successful. A year later, she had her second breast removed as a prophylactic measure, to ward off the 50%-60% chance that the cancer would return.
