Summary
Details

You are allowed to be terrified. You are allowed to be exhausted and angry. Yet you are NOT BROKEN.

If you or a loved one is navigating the cruelty of cancer, this book will help you navigate your medical maze. It is your reminder that your feelings are valid, you are seen, and you are NOT BROKEN.

When Diane LaFaso Skullr was handed a Stage 4 colon cancer diagnosis and only a 14% chance of surviving, her world stopped cold. Here, she tells the whole embarrassing and terrifying story. To keep her friends and family updated, she smiled through the pain in her public online journal. But that was not the whole story.

Her journal is ""What I Did Say"", written with the messy reality of chemo brain. She adds the crippling emotions, fears and outcomes in ""What I Didn't Say"", sharing it all so that you have the information that you need to battle on your own journey. Then she adds Practical Notes, the unemotional tips for guidance - to say what she wished she had known.

Inside, you will find:

The Unspoken Realities:

The crushing weight of medical debt, the desperate need to hide a diagnosis from an employer, and the absolute dread of ""scanxiety"". Practical Notes:

Real-world advice on managing side effects, advocating for yourself within the healthcare system, and handling the emotional roller coaster. A Warrior's Solidarity:

Proof that it's okay to feel depressed and entirely overwhelmed.
