Getting Through It: My Year of Cancer during Covid

Helen Epstein

4.9/5 (9423 ratings)

Description:More than 600,000 American women today have had endometrial cancer, the most common cancer of the female reproductive organs. More women are diagnosed every year.Getting Through It is a veteran journalist’s guide to the medical steeplechase of surgery, chemo and radiation therapy. It is based on her notebooks and conversations with friends and former classmates who successfully completed treatment. Their candid commentary contextualizes Epstein’s narrative.Like her ground-breaking Children of the Holocaust, the first book about the transmission of intergenerational trauma, this book braids eyewitness reporting, interviews, statistical research and elements of memoir into a seamless whole.Getting Through It is not only for people who have shared Epstein’s voyage through serious illness and wish to make sense of it, but for people who fear it may be in their future, for their doctors, therapists and nurses, family members and friends who want to better understand what contemporary cancer treatment looks like from the patient’s point of view.Epstein is alert to the changing nature of the contemporary medical world (almost all her doctors are women; her diagnosis was made by a Nigerian-American GYN) and to the differing experiences of single patients, same-sex couples and heterosexual couples. Although she references statistics, her focus is on stories. During her treatment, two friends – both physicians – were diagnosed with endometrial cancer and theirs are part of the book.As a reporter, Epstein found it natural to document her experience of cancer as it happened, taking photos, interviewing friends, classmates, doctors, nurses, technicians and other patients.In July of 2021, after a year of treatment, she was declared cancer-free.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
