Book excerpt: A novel that “considers the agency . . . women exert over their bodies and charts the emotional underpinnings of physical changes . . . with humor and empathy” (The New Yorker). On a sweltering summer day, Makiko travels from Osaka to Tokyo, where her sister Natsu lives. She is in the company of her daughter, Midoriko, who has lately grown silent, finding herself unable to voice the vague yet overwhelming pressures associated with adolescence. Over the course of their few days together in the capital, Midoriko’s silence will prove a catalyst for each woman to confront her fears and family secrets. On yet another summer’s day eight years later, Natsu, during a journey back to her native city, confronts her anxieties about growing old alone and childless. Bestselling author Mieko Kawakami mixes stylistic inventiveness and riveting emotional depth to tell a story of contemporary womanhood in Japan. “Took my breath away.” —Haruki Murakami, #1 New York Times–bestselling author The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle “Kawakami lobbed a literary grenade into the fusty, male-dominated world of Japanese fiction with Breast and Eggs.” —The Economist “A sharply observed and heartbreaking portrait of what it means to be a woman.” —TIME “Raw, funny, mundane, heartbreaking.” —The Atlantic “A bracing, feminist exploration of daily life in Japan.” —Entertainment Weekly “Timely feminist themes; strange, surreal prose; and wonderful characters will transcend cultural barriers and enchant readers.” —The New York Observer “Bracing and evocative, tender yet unflinching.” —Publishers Weekly “Kawakami writes with unsettling precision about the body—its discomforts, its appetites, its smells and secretions. And she is especially good at capturing its longings.” —The New York Times Book Review

Book Synopsis The Cancer Journals by : Audre Lorde
Download or read book The Cancer Journals written by Audre Lorde and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2020-10-13 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Moving between journal entry, memoir, and exposition, Audre Lorde fuses the personal and political as she reflects on her experience coping with breast cancer and a radical mastectomy. A Penguin Classic First published over forty years ago, The Cancer Journals is a startling, powerful account of Audre Lorde's experience with breast cancer and mastectomy. Long before narratives explored the silences around illness and women's pain, Lorde questioned the rules of conformity for women's body images and supported the need to confront physical loss not hidden by prosthesis. Living as a "black, lesbian, mother, warrior, poet," Lorde heals and re-envisions herself on her own terms and offers her voice, grief, resistance, and courage to those dealing with their own diagnosis. Poetic and profoundly feminist, Lorde's testament gives visibility and strength to women with cancer to define themselves, and to transform their silence into language and action.
Book Synopsis The Psychological Impact of Breast Cancer by : Cordelia Galgut
Download or read book The Psychological Impact of Breast Cancer written by Cordelia Galgut and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2021-07-28 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'It's rare to find a professional in the field of health care who understands the psychology of such a frightening experience and who has also been through it herself. Cordelia's book will ring true to every woman who has experienced breast cancer and will, I hope, offer insight to doctors and nurses.' - From the foreword by Jenni Murray OBE What is it like to experience breast cancer? This book presents rare and valuable insights into the impact of diagnosis, treatment and prognosis from a woman who has experienced breast cancer as both patient and as health professional. It informs and educates readers about the psychological realities of living with breast cancer, of treatments such as surgery and radiotherapy, and the impact of social and historical attitudes to the breast and breast cancer on a woman's experience of the disease. The conflicts Cordelia Galgut experienced between conventional wisdom and her own first-hand experience are explored vividly and reflectively. The Psychological Impact of Breast Cancer is vital reading for medical and mental health professionals and trainees working with breast cancer patients, and for those who are affected by or have an interest in the condition. 'The aim of this book, and the way forward, is to understand that we must all be more sensitive to the feelings of patients and to the suffering, uncertainty and sense of vulnerability that this disease imposes upon them.' - Dr Carmel Coulter in her Foreword 'This book has helped me understand the complexities that my patients present and has turned me into a better doctor. It has eased my way along the road that I now travel as a cancer survivor.' - Dr Cathy Roberts in her Foreword ]
Download or read book My Pink Diary written by L. A. Reilly and published by . This book was released on 2019-04-29 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most people think breast cancer only affects women and men who have a family history. Stay healthy, eat right, don't smoke, get yearly mammograms. The radiologist tells you you're good until next year. You are all set. Wrong! Breast cancer can affect anyone, any age, any lifestyle. Hidden from view. Like an alien hiding in your chest. Cancer cells put up a barrier around themselves. A disguise, so your body doesn't know it's there. The only way to protect yourself is a good screening. For some of us, we have dense to extremely dense breast tissue which is like looking at a snow globe. Impossible to see anything. We need ultrasounds and MRIs. We need good facilities and good doctors. We need hope. My book, My Pink Diary: A Survival Guide. What Every Woman Should Know, is my personal journey with breast cancer from day one to the present. My words have helped so many women that I know. I wanted to write down all of my experiences and research to help all women. Not just the ones I know. If my words can save women and help them go through breast cancer or procedures with a sense of ease and familiarity, I will feel complete. Every time I hear someone I know or a friend of a friend has breast cancer, I just want to give them my book. Friends ask me all the time if my book is ready so they can give to someone they know who is going through breast cancer. My journey can help so many women on so many levels. Of course, I added in some humor. Because laughter, sometimes, can be one of the best remedies.So starts my journey. The diary describes everything in detail with pictures, charts and research. I walked into every appointment and test blind, frightened and ill informed. Googling everything was foolish and scary. I needed facts. What would I be going through? What can I expect from surgery, chemo and radiation? Every day was a journey. Here it is. Everything you need to know. Even my medication schedule that I had to follow that prevented me from being sick from my endless chemo sessions. I've included every detail of what to expect and many unexpected details I wish I had known prior. Think of my diary as a guide through anyone's journey. What does chemo feel like? Lumpectomy vs Mastectomy? What will happen before and after surgery or when I have biopsies? I wish I had been more prepared. So I wrote this diary to prepare the reader. I was diagnosed with Stage 2B breast cancer in 2015. I had been faithfully going for routine mammograms since I was 39. At age 46, it was the first time in 7 years I was told I had dense breasts. No wonder during my past mammograms the radiologists didn't see anything. They really couldn't see anything. The entire mammogram screen was white! I should have been sent for better testing at age 39. This time, they thought they saw something. "Maybe nothing", they said. After an ultrasound and MRI, they found a large suspicious lump along with 5 other lumps. 6 lumps in my chest, 3 in each breast that had been undetected with the traditional 2D mammogram. Who knows how long they have been in my breasts. Today I am cancer free but live year to year waiting for the results of my MRIs. My journey had to be shared.I have been a graphic designer for over 20 years. I graduated college with a degree in Journalism and a minor in English. I wrote and designed My Diary. Although there are thousands of books on breast cancer, to the best of my knowledge, mine would be the only book in diary form jam-packed with information every woman should know written in an easy to read and understand format without technical jargon. I wanted to write my book as if I was talking to a friend.
Book Synopsis The Wounded Breast by : Evelyne Accad
Download or read book The Wounded Breast written by Evelyne Accad and published by Spinifex Press. This book was released on 2001 with total page 548 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a rare multicultural perspective on disease, particularly cancer, in which the author takes on a journey through the medical establishments, cultural taboos, gender-tagged attitudes and personal stories of different civilisations. It could also be defined as a quest on how human logic relates to illness. The writing itself blends the diary, personal letters, poems and songs with excerpts from some of the foremost authorities in cancer research, producing an effect upon the reader akin to that which she experienced herself, as she moved back and forth between the emotional and physical shock of the cancer experience and the objective scientific data she uncovered. She begins to find cancer everywhere in her physical environment: friends, relatives and people she has never met -- some die. She finds a depth of friendship and support that she had never expected including that of her close companion. While writing her book she sent sections of it to friends, who commented on the text. These honest responses to her story add a further dimension. The structure and content of the book are informed by her deep commitment to women, men, ecology and peace issues. As part of the journey she reads many books on the environment and cancer. Although she lives in the USA and France, the book takes the reader on physical journeys to many other cities including Paris, Tunis and Beirut.
Book Synopsis Constructions of Cancer in Early Modern England by : Alanna Skuse
Download or read book Constructions of Cancer in Early Modern England written by Alanna Skuse and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-11-11 with total page 373 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is open access under a CC-BY licence. Cancer is perhaps the modern world's most feared disease. Yet, we know relatively little about this malady's history before the nineteenth century. This book provides the first in-depth examination of perceptions of cancerous disease in early modern England. Looking to drama, poetry and polemic as well as medical texts and personal accounts, it contends that early modern people possessed an understanding of cancer which remains recognizable to us today. Many of the ways in which medical practitioners and lay people imagined cancer – as a 'woman's disease' or a 'beast' inside the body – remain strikingly familiar, and they helped to make this disease a byword for treachery and cruelty in discussions of religion, culture and politics. Equally, cancer treatments were among the era's most radical medical and surgical procedures. From buttered frog ointments to agonizing and dangerous surgeries, they raised abiding questions about the nature of disease and the proper role of the medical practitioner.
