SynopsisThe Cancer Effect shares Claudia Bretzing's tender and triumphant journey to conquer third stage hormone receptor positive breast cancer. This autobiography draws a grueling picture of the effects of cancer on her life, turning it upside down and inside out. From the shock of diagnosis in 2009, Claudia writes of her journey wading through treatment options, choosing a health care team, losing both breasts, the devastating exhaustion and illness of chemotherapy, and the frustration and terror of losing control over every aspect of her life. During her journey, Claudia discovered that cancer's effect is far more than physical. It demands a massive emotional, mental and spiritual price. She narrates how debilitating fear can be, how important the support of friends and family are to survival, and how learning to trust in God and our own bodies all comprise the other half of battling cancer. Her story is rich in detail and will bring tears as well as laughter as Claudia navigates the often bumpy cancer road. It is an inspiring story of the celebration of life, love, family, self-discovery, and the power of faith and prayer.
