About this ebook
This memoir is two narratives woven as one; spanning 30+ years and recording significant changes in medical care. Myths about bipolar and breast cancer treatment are examined and dispelled. This is a testament to the use of humor as a survival tool, the importance of support during illness, and the strength of spirit. Highly recommended for those diagnosed, the people who care about them and those professionals working with people who have bipolar disorder and breast cancer
