In Chemo Summer Jane Hoggar takes the reader through a light-hearted and
informative account of her discovery of breast cancer and its cure.
Cancer of any description has the capacity to chill those it affects and
their loved ones. But for Jane Hoggar early discovery and diagnosis
provided for a satisfactory resolution. And it's these small details
that might well help people in a similar situation. For example, Jane
did not discover a lump, which is the usual thing in breast cancer, but
a 'sag' when she raised her arms and it was her insistence that
something was wrong that resulted in a vital early medical diagnosis.
All the side issues are covered in the book, effects of chemo and
radiotherapy, hair loss and wigs, changes in diet and exercise, making
Chemo Summer a valuable and engaging look into a serious and often
frightening subject.
