    About this ebook

    This book was written with the hope that it will help others who are diagnosed with breast cancer and facing chemotherapy for the first time. It is also informative for the caregivers for cancer fighters. The book is brief and written simply because those who are sick don't have the energy to wade through massive medical articles to seek answers to their many questions. Laughter is a powerful medicine, and this book encourages positive thinking as well as seeking comfort through faith, friends, and family.

      FOREWORD

      My name is Beverly B. Still, and I am a breast cancer survivor. It is my hope that this book will help anyone who is facing breast cancer themselves or going through it with a family member or friend. I am taking you step by step through my journey, and I have tried to make it as entertaining as possible.

      In order to have a better appreciation for this self-evaluation, you need to know a few things about me personally. I am an English teacher who has been teaching for 28+ years. While I am not a prima Dona, I am quite a girly girl. I love pretty clothes, and I get my nails done regularly. I love jewelry, sparkly things, and chocolate. I am not a petite lady. I am a plus-sized, tall woman who walks confidently and who is appropriately accessorized when in public. My dark brown/black hair is my crowning glory. I have always had wonderful hair thanks to my parent’s genealogy. Oh how I love my makeup, too! I love to play around with all kinds of makeup and never leave home without it.

      I enjoy the beach, tanning in the real sun, reading, playing with my dog, and watching fun shows on television. I also like to catch up with my friends and family on the phone or on facebook weekly. I am a very loyal friend and confidant. My husband and I have no children of our own, so I often adopt those of my friends for an afternoon or night. My students are my children for the most part . . . but they leave every year and move on to the next chapter in their lives.

      I am definitely a people-person. Laughter is a must for every day I am alive. If you can’t find humor in life, then I think you aren’t really living. Humor is as essential to me as breathing.

      I am a teetotaler who has a strong belief in God. I was raised in the church and worked as a
