Bøger af Leslie Ferris Yerger

Do you assume when your mammogram comes back 'all clear' or 'negative', that you definitely don't have breast cancer? That's what Leslie thought too, until a devastating stage IV (metastatic) breast cancer diagnosis proved otherwise. Leslie, in Probably Benign, tells the tale that all women must hear for themselves, as well as for the sake of their mothers, daughters, partners, friends, and coworkers. In a unique, inspiring, and entertaining way, Leslie empowers women everywhere to advocate for their own best breast cancer screening options, so that ultimately more women with breast cancer can become survivors. Walk with Leslie all the way across Spain on the 500 mile journey of the Camino de Santiago, also known as The Way of St. James, as she shares with you the circumstances of her shocking diagnosis and the emotional journey of reckoning with her uncertain future and the unknown. Take the physical, mental, and spiritual journey with Leslie as she traverses the ancient Spanish pilgrimage on foot and shares the practical as well as the metaphorical lessons she learns along the way. Also eloquently woven into her courageous story are the tragic pitfalls of our current breast cancer screening technologies for the millions of women with dense breast tissue, and Leslie's determination to advance the next generation of breast cancer screening so that her story does not become your story.
