Produktbeskrivning
After years of experiencing painful periods that she was led to believe were normal, Caitlin Breedlove was diagnosed with ovarian cancer - the deadliest of all gynecological cancers, which disproportionately impacts queer women, trans men, Jewish women of Eastern European descent, and older women.
As she writes, ''It feeds on those who can''t go to a doctor and those who convince ourselves we do not need to.'' Thrust into a series of major surgeries amid the isolation of the COVID-19 pandemic, Breedlove lingered at the edges of the living and made a deal with her ancestors: if she lived, she would write for them and all the suffering in her lineage that had gone unnamed.
With the generous and community-minded heart of an organizer, Breedlove chronicles harms caused by our profit-driven health care system, and explores the rigors of single parenting while living with chronic illness; the medical neglect that women, the LGBTQ+ community, and others on the margins experience; and her challenges with addiction.
And, like Audre Lorde and Barbara Ehrenreich, she calls out the insidious impact of ''toxic positivity'' on women who live with cancer. The result is an intensely powerful narrative about the connective potential of grief and forging a new life.
