Princesses Don't Get Cancer

While showering one day, Hope Jordan discovered a lump in her breast. Her first thought: But princesses don't get cancer. Like so many other women, she saw her life as a fairy tale. As her diamond tiara washed down the drain, Hope readied herself for a heroic battle that had the potential to end her fairy tale and her life. Princesses Don't Get Cancer tells Hope's story, but it is one shared by many families. Breast cancer is the second most diagnosed form of cancer detected in women. Diagnosis, treatment, and healing are long processes, but they are also opportunities for personal growth, as Hope quickly discovered. Faith and humor carried her through her process, along with endless optimism. Hope's difficult journey is chronicled here, as she addresses practical issues from ...choosing a doctor, buying a wig....to reactions of family and friends and how they dealt with watching a loved one suffer through sickness. Cancer is a long thorny path. It is true we cannot always choose our paths in life, but we can choose how we respond to difficulties we face. Hope Jordan stands by her mantra of holding tight to good people and good experiences, while keeping God at the center of it all!
