Getting Readyis the story of how Sara Jones planned for, met and climbed her "Everest" -- Triple Negative Breast Cancer. Part journal and part guide, this book is a must read for those diagnosed with TNBC or other types of cancer, their loved ones and anyone who wants a glimpse into what they can expect and get a few ideas on how to face the long, arduous battle with breast cancer.
Unable to physically do much more than lay in bed all day every day to heal from her chemotherapy treatments, she found that the process of writing gave her something productive to do and helped get her chemo'd brain back into gear. At the same time, the women who supported Sara, the Base Camp Champs, kept asking her for advice and information for their friends, their loved ones, and sometimes for themselves. Sara realized that telling the details of her story might possibly help guide them as well as those like you, who will hike their own hike with Triple Negative Breast Cancer.
If hiking is not your thing, if you are a baker, a quilter, a boxer, a police officer or a truck driver, this book can still be useful to you. Simply translate the hiking metaphors into your language and apply them to how you now see the threat before you.
Sara's Journal, your Guide offers three different perspectives on her climb - what she thought was going to happen, how she prepared for what she thought was going to happen (practically and spiritually), and what actually happened. It also offers the resources and references she used along the way so that you can track them down, order them, or read about them for yourself. This book is not a comprehensive approach to Triple Negative Breast Cancer, just one hiker's approach.
