'GOBSMACKED'One word from her doctor mid-colonoscopy turned Lisa Barlin's world on its head. Waking to the unexpected diagnosis of bowel cancer at forty, this is a detour through brutal cancer treatments, careers interrupted, and how one-woman faces (faeces!) the prospect of 'pooping' in public.Offering a reflection on growing up in a large Catholic family in Canberra, Australia, in the 80s and 90s, through law school, marriage and motherhood, this is a tender love letter to all the broken pieces that make a family whole.This book is the best friend for anyone with cancer, surviving cancer, or supporting a loved one through the disease.Told with sensitivity, striking honesty and humour, prepare to be heartened, to cry, to chuckle, and above all, to witness the alchemy that turns life's unexpected 'But(t)s' into gold.
