This Is About Life: An Intimate Story of Cancer From the Turn of the Century to Covid 19
Description
Description
"I cannot live if I am trying to kill part of myself."
Over the course of 20 years, Leslie King survived breast cancer, endometrial cancer, and breast cancer again.
In her selected journals, she documents the realities of cancer treatment within Canada's medical system, her efforts to keep afloat in her northern Manitoba home, during the COVID-19 pandemic in Ontario, and the intersection of faith and flesh in periods of profound struggle.
As a United Church minister, Leslie draws strength from her connection with God, yet her story holds comfort and wisdom for anyone seeking hope in dark times. Embracing the mystery of consciousness while demystifying the impacts of cancer treatment, This Is About Life is a manifesto for agency and self-love in the face of difficult realities.
