What lies beneath survival is the realization that the end of treatment is not the end of the story.
Rachel Haynes survived cancer not once, but twice.
This is her story about facing treatment, the joy of remission, followed by the heartbreak of relapse and finally, unexpectedly, a cure. Rachel reflects on the messy psychological legacy of survival in all its raw highs and lows, and of her overwhelming urge to finally make sense of a life she never thought she would see. With taboo-breaking humour and honesty, she vividly describes her experience of cancer and the impact it has had on her loved ones alongside a tender description of how life has brought her full circle back to love.
It is a rallying call to wake up to what's important in life and never give up hope. A quest to uncover what to do when you have a second chance at life.
All profits from the book will be donated to Bowel Cancer UK.
