Getting the diagnosis of breast cancer can be a very lonely and

frightening feeling. As a psychologist, I found it especially disconcerting. Not only was this something that was not supposed to be happening to me, but what in the world were my clients going to do? How would I be able to tell them and encourage them that they were going to be able to find the resources to handle their life just fine in spite of my diagnosis. I share candidly in the book that I had a very old script that was still alive and well inside of me, “Everyone who gets cancer dies of cancer.” This cancer helped me hit the script head on and unravel the terror inside of it while I developed a new script, “Cancer is a horrible disease but it does not own me.”

In A Moment’s Notice: A Psychologist’s Journey with Breast Cancer. This book is the book I wanted to read when I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1999. At that time, I drowned myself in the thousands of medical documentations, clinical trial studies, and compared conflicting medical opinions, but I longed for someone else’s story. I kept personal journals during my eleven-year journey and I chose to revisit the journals and create this book over the past eighteen months, because I believe it has a healing message. I am happy to report that I have had positive feedback about the emotional depth and breadth of my story and it is now available on Kindle, Nook and IPAD, as well as paper back.
