And Other Insights from a Breast Cancer Adventurer

Book Cover & Preview Text
I said it before and I’ll say it again: asking for help with dinner on chemo days was the Best. Decision. Ever. For twelve weeks, I was guaranteed to see a friend each week. They felt helpful. I felt grateful. AND I didn’t have to think about what I was going to eat on chemo days and had leftovers to enjoy! The meal drop-offs were a welcomed event I looked forward to. A stark contrast to my feelings in the morning when getting up and going to receive chemo—an event that would have me at the hospital nearly six hours each time. Although the feeling of lethargy greeted me each chemo morning, my mood immediately improved when I crossed the threshold of the Cancer Care Center. Why? Because the staff was kind, caring, sweet, and funny, and they had become my friends. That’s my takeaway from this intense time in my adventure—friends make everything better. Their hugs gave me comfort. Their words made me smile. Their thoughts brought me peace. To all of mine—I am forever grateful.

About the Book
Boobs are arguably the defining feature of a woman. But what happens when, seemingly out of nowhere, they forcefully demand every minute of your attention? As author Penny Casselman planned her forty-fifth birthday, she was only thinking of three things: friends, craft cocktails, and, of course, which pair of strappy high heels best complemented her new skinny jeans. What wasn’t in her birthday plans? Cancer. So, imagine her surprise when a routine mammogram resulted in the radiologist saying, “We’ll be with you every step of the way.” According to the American Cancer Society, one in eight women will develop breast cancer sometime in their life. Whether that someone is you, a family member, or a friend, How To Get A Free Boob Job provides insights, new perspectives, and heaping scoops of gratitude for the little things we take for granted—all covered with sprinkles of humor. Casselman brings you along on her adventure of a lifetime and gives you a peek under her shirt of what it’s like to navigate the wild unknown of a genetically driven breast cancer diagnosis.
