Reading Michelle’s book and the journey she has been on was fascinating on many levels. Michelle shares her experience with such honesty and vulnerability and while doing so she taught me so many lessons.
This book touches on the shock and hope after being diagnosed with a life-threatening disease and its ripple effects on career, family, self-image and self-awareness as well as the complex challenges in our current healthcare systems. Surprisingly, this book had me reflecting on many aspects of my own life, including the vulnerability of growing up and the pressures and expectations from others that impact on our decisions about who we will be.
An intensively engaging page-turner by an author who draws back the curtain on a life-altering journey – one I could only hope, if faced with, I could handle with even an ounce of the courage that Michelle showed and has continued to show in her continuing journey.
I’m grateful for the emotional roller coaster this book provoked, tears, anger, hope and self-reflection. A very worthwhile read.

Reading this book has given me the gift of quiet reflection and permission to feel and think without expectation. Michelle shares her experience with unabashed honesty without ever being “preachy”. In this book, we see the gradual birth of an advocate - for patients, for women - leaving me wanting to know what comes next.
