Over the course of seven unbelievable years, Irene Black faced breast cancer twice. In additional to the debilitating cancer treatments, she had to deal with the horrors of flesh-eating disease after reconstructive surgery. Through it all, she struggled tirelessly to find the best answers about therapy options. Just when she thought things were looking up, her beloved daughter experienced kidney failure and her husband began his own battle with cancer. Yet despite everything, Irene refused to give up, positive that she and her family would endure - a journey that is captured in the book, Seven Years Bad Luck. The moving story of Irene's journey will touch and inspire every reader, but especially those who are dealing with their own health issues, the problems of a family member or the concerns of a patient. As her family physician writes in his foreword, it's a story of courage, patience and grit. But as Irene will tell you, it's also a story of gratitude, love and hope.
