Inhaltsangabe

When I First Found Out I Had Cancer: Reflections on Living and Learning With a Serious Illness is a collection of personal essays by Susan Sandler chronicling her experience with brain cancer. Taking readers from the moments immediately after receiving her diagnosis of grade IV glioblastoma, which has a median survival time of 18 months, through her ongoing emotional journey of healing and growth, Susan provides an honest, introspective, and hopeful account of surviving and even thriving with a serious illness.

A slim book brimming with quiet courage, vulnerability and hope, Sandler generously offers up her story with the intention of helping others feel less alone. “I am not sharing my story because I think I have some answer or path that helped me work through how painful this situation is,” she writes. “I don’t have an answer. But I do hope there is something in my story that some people might find relevant or helpful to their own situations.”

All proceeds from sale of this book will be donated to the UCSF Brain Tumor Center, which has overseen Susan's care and treatment.
