Book Description
I have captured my own harrowing experience, which followed after I was positively diagnosed with multi-centric breast cancer. The contents of the book are based on my own version of the experience I had. This led me through many corridors I had to navigate myself through, to possibly save my life or maybe add a few more years to the only form of life I am familiar to. I did not understand what I had to deal with at the time and I desperately needed some kind of help at hand as I did not have any time to research the possibilities of my condition. I became aware that breast cancer was on the increase long before my own diagnosis. This drove me to recall many agonizing memories, which I would have preferred to erase from my mind entirely, but I chose to mentally relive my torment in order to be of some benefit to my reader. Once I started with my chemotherapy sessions, I quickly realized why I heard and read of chemo patients who by their own choice gave up on chemotherapy, and lacked the endurance to complete the treatment. Who chose alternative treatment instead, until I was confronted to tolerate the shock of being treated for my condition. I have included my own account of my experiences before and after having a mastectomy, thereafter chemotherapy, radio therapy and an attempt at having a breast reconstruction.

Face Value
Author: Robin Lakoff
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1000854108
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 270
Book Description
First published in 1984, Face Value confronts the pervasive power of beauty through art and literature, as well as interviews with men and women with varying perspectives on the subject. The topics covered range widely: the history of beauty from the Greeks to the present; the pathology of beauty: how women have been willing to harm themselves, mentally and physically, to achieve ‘beauty’; the language we use to speak of beauty, and its implications; our attitudes towards beauty, as examined by psychologists; beauty and ethnic identity; men and beauty. The authors present in fact a redefinition of beauty, enabling both women and men to enjoy it in themselves and in others, while discarding the sex-role stereotypes that have governed the definition of beauty in the past. With a new preface that explores the gaps created by time in the book’s discourse, this book will be of interest to students of linguistics, gender studies, women’s studies, cultural studies, sociology and anthropology.
