'In 2022 I received a diagnosis of Stage 3 Breast Cancer. Life changed irrevocably and I began a very steep learning curve.

This concise book was written during the period covering the first 12 months from preliminary diagnosis through treatment.

The book has been written as a Special Edition, To the Point title and uses the format which was first published in 2017. This special edition is my personal story which shares experiences and insights combined with psychological theories plus practical tips and ideas. The overarching aim is about leaning into the resilient self during a challenging time. While the narrative is built around the breast cancer journey, as with key concepts described in all of the To the Point books, ideas may be relevant and might be usefully applied across other difficult situations.

For myself, ongoing medication and care continues but I am looking to the future with optimism.

Although a sensitive subject, I hope you find the book interesting and useful.

It's been quite a journey'.
