The Compression Garment Diaries Breast Cancer, An Unexpected Gift

The Compression Garment Diaries is a collection of blogs written by the author upon learning she has breast cancer. Writing the blogs begins as a convenient mode to keep her friends and family up-to date with her diagnosis and treatment. What develops is an open and honest exploration into how breast cancer changes her perspective on life.

The blogs tell a story of all the uncertainties that come with diagnosis, treatment, recovery and survival. Her vulnerability is expressed with humour and strength. Her greatest support is the love she receives from her husband and her children.

Cancer is an unexpected gift that helps the author to realize the fragility of life and the importance of appreciating the moment.
