Biography: science, technology & engineering; Diseases & disorders; Coping with illness

When Elizabeth MacKenzie was diagnosed with breast cancer, her world changed in an instant. Once the one offering strength and comfort to others, she now faced the uncertainty of surgery, radiation, and a new identity shaped by vulnerability.

In The War I Didn't Choose, Elizabeth shares her deeply personal journey through diagnosis, treatment, grief, and healing. With raw honesty and spiritual depth, she brings readers into the real experience of living with cancer-its fear, its beauty, and its unexpected moments of grace. From quiet tears in hospital corridors to laughter shared in support circles, she invites you into the heart of what it means to endure and still choose hope.

This book is for anyone navigating illness, loss, or life's unexpected turns. It's a reminder that even in suffering, we can find strength, meaning, and the unwavering light of human connection.
