She doesn't shy away from difficult topics, tackling everything from hair loss and menopause to the fear of recurrence and the struggle to find a "new normal" after treatment. More than just a memoir, this insightful resource serves as a guide for patients, a wake-up call for healthcare providers, and an inspiration for anyone facing adversity.Dr. Hwang's story is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the power of vulnerability while offering practical advice for navigating the complex world of cancer care.With empathy and a touch of humor, Dr. Hwang navigates the emotional rollercoaster of facing the very disease she's spent her career treating.
