What if cancer didn't just take things away-but also gave you the chance to find unexpected laughter, resilience, and joy?

When entrepreneur, mother, and consultant Amanda Gunville was diagnosed with breast cancer, her world turned upside down. Doctors' appointments, treatment schedules, and the uncertainty of tomorrow quickly replaced the familiar rhythm of her busy life. But in the middle of fear and fatigue, Amanda discovered something she never expected: that humor, honesty, and small everyday joys could be as healing as any prescription.

In this raw, uplifting, and often laugh-out-loud memoir, Amanda shares her personal journey through diagnosis, treatment, and recovery, offering encouragement and wisdom for anyone touched by cancer-whether you're a patient, survivor, caregiver, or friend.

Inside, you'll find:

✔️ Candid survivor stories filled with both tears and laughter

✔️ Practical wisdom for patients, families, and caregivers

✔️ Emotional support and inspiration for women's health journeys

✔️ A reminder that even in the darkest times, joy can be found in small moments

Perfect for those navigating breast cancer, supporting a loved one, or seeking a story of resilience, Finding Hope & Joy in Cancer is more than a cancer memoir-it's a guide to embracing hope, rediscovering laughter, and choosing joy when life feels overwhelming.

If you are looking for breast cancer survivor stories, uplifting memoirs, caregiver inspiration, or a supportive gift for someone battling cancer, this book will offer strength, comfort, and the reminder that you are not alone.
