Mourning Breasts

A woman who is no braver than anyone else, rebuilds her confidence and survives breast cancer.

This is a remarkable book meticulously crafted with literary techniques about breast cancer and its medical and self-help approaches. The narrator, embodying a patient's own experience, breaks taboos and analyzes the reality of her own breast cancer diagnosis, describing her treatment journey, her post-cancer reflections, and the care and support of her friends. Living under the spell of cancer, the book experiences a life that feels both real and surreal. Facing it, overcoming it, and feeling reluctant to leave this world, the book laments the remarkable progress of humanity over the years, yet our vitality is noticeably declining. The concept of "mourning" implies a hope for rebirth, a sense that the past cannot be remonstrated with, but the future can be pursued.
