Too young for cancer : one woman's battle for a diagnosis and a fighting chance / by Coleman, Katie,author.;
"New Year's Eve 2020 was supposed to be a turning point to better days for twenty-nine-year-old Katie Coleman. Instead, she found herself in the ER processing the earth-shattering news of a stage IV cancer diagnosis, one that had come after years of being assured she was "too young for cancer" and a repeated misdiagnosis of anxiety. Too Young for Cancer tells the story of Katie's journey from diagnosis with an ultrarare cancer through treatment, recovery, and a life-altering shift in perspective. Katie starts her journey shy, timid, and frightened of an intimidating medical world, but as she learns how to advocate for herself, she faces her own mortality with bravery and finds herself at top cancer institutions arguing her case for a radical and high-risk surgery that could change her life forever. With support from her husband, innovative doctors, and a diverse community of cancer survivors, Katie finds her life's purpose to advocate not only for herself but also for others who are fighting just as hard for their lives." --

Grace will lead you home / by Nelson-Garrett, Nina,author.;
Dr. Grace Wilson-Livingston is a superwoman--or at least that's what her husband Stewart calls her. Without skipping a beat, she juggles patients and promotions at the University of Tennessee Hospital and makes it to parent-teacher conferences for her young son and teen daughter. She does it all with no thought to slowing down. But one day after an unexpected fall, Grace comes face-to-face with a future she never planned or thought possible. She is diagnosed with breast cancer. Suddenly, her life is turned upside down and she must navigate her fears of not knowing what lies ahead for her career, her family, and least of all, her health. A week before her mastectomy, Grace drives home to Jacson, Mississippi to see the brother and sisters who have always looked to her as a source of strength. As she explores her childhood memories amid the ghosts of her reverend father and teacher mother--who fought, and lost, their own fights with cancer--she's forced to realize that maybe she doesn't have her life as perfectly handled as she once thought. After all, even Superwoman needs help sometimes--from family, from friends, and most of all, from God.

Gaining visibility / by Hearon, Pamela,author.(CARDINAL)607844;
Julia Berkwith's daughter has moved to Alaska, her beloved mother-in-law is in a nursing home, and her ex-husband is in Hawaii-with a younger woman. In her late forties, Julia is now used to being invisible. But even if she has to do it alone, she's determined to celebrate her victory over breast cancer by hiking Italy's Cinque Terre. And while she's there, she can scout out treasures for her interior design business back in Kentucky. Invigorated by the beauty of the Italian countryside, Julia seems unstoppable, until she's injured by a rock -- one that happens to belong to thirty-something stone mason Vitale DeLuca. Reluctantly, Julia accepts Vitale's insistent offer of lodging while she recovers. But in his home, amid his exquisite sculptures, Julia sees beyond his charm and looks to something special- a talent she must bring to the world's attention. And once she does, she plans to step aside to leave him in the spotlight. But Vitale has seen something in Julia too, something she is no longer able to recognize in herself. And he is determined to find a way to show it to her.

The Amish mother's secret / by Craver, Diane,author.(CARDINAL)381436;
"Sometimes a beautiful miracle comes to you at exactly the wrong time... Lindsay Prescott is forty and single when tragedy strikes. After being diagnosed with stage 4 Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma cancer, her instinct is to right the wrongs in her life, starting with the secret she'd kept from Harris Manning, the man she'd loved. Harris' life was already planned out for him by his wealthy parents. Falling for Lindsay had been a dream. However, compelled to wed the woman his parents chose for him, he'd left her to endure a shaky marriage. Though Harris never knew it, Lindsay found herself pregnant with no way to care for identical triplets on her own. An Amish couple, Katie and Roman Yoder, adopted five month old Amy and Jenna while Lindsay kept Phoebe. She couldn't bear to give all three babies away. When you let go of a miracle, can you ever capture it again? Harris is thrilled to discover he's a father. But life rarely gives fairytale endings. Revealing the truth may prove more devastating than the hurdles that came before...and all that will surely come after a woman fighting for her life." --page [4] of cover

A series of catastrophes and miracles : a true story of love, science, and cancer / by Williams, Mary Elizabeth,1965-author.(CARDINAL)490982;
"A wry, witty account of what it is like to face death--and be restored to life. After being diagnosed in her early 40s with metastatic melanoma--a "rapidly fatal" form of cancer--journalist and mother of two Mary Elizabeth Williams finds herself in a race against the clock. She takes a once-in-a-lifetime chance and joins a clinical trial for immunotherapy, a revolutionary drug regimen that trains the body to vanquish malignant cells. Astonishingly, her cancer disappears entirely in just a few weeks. But at the same time, her best friend embarks on a cancer journey of her own--with very different results. Williams's experiences as a patient and a medical test subject reveal with stark honesty what it takes to weather disease, the extraordinary new developments that are rewriting the rules of science--and the healing power of human connection"--
