Description
Book Introduction
Tasha shares her breast cancer story with someone who is struggling for the first time.
A beacon of warmth, comfort, helpful information, and experience-based know-how on everything from breast cancer diagnosis and treatment to life afterward. This book offers guidance as kindly and comfortably as the next-door neighbor.
Working moms and elementary school moms' treatment strategies and breast cancer trivia
A breast cancer guide written, illustrated, and created by those who have experienced breast cancer.
As a manager for 17 years, my life as a working mom was intense at every turn.
"There's nothing that can't be achieved with effort," she said. Her life, brimming with fighting spirit and cherishing every second, dreaming of success in work, family, and self-improvement, suddenly came to a halt when she was struck by breast cancer at the age of forty.
After the fear of death, anger, and resentment had passed, I realized that 'life must go on', not only for myself but also for my beloved family.
I calmly accepted the situation and focused on what I could do, completing about a year of treatment.
No matter how difficult the times are, they all pass and daily life returns.
The blog posts I started writing three months after my breast cancer diagnosis with the determination to overcome it have gradually accumulated as my treatments have progressed, becoming a record of my healing and essential information for others.
I want to give a warm hand to someone who is having a hard time for the first time.

Into the book
The clinical trial I participated in was to study the effects of preoperative anti-hormonal agents and new drugs as alternatives to anti-cancer agents in hormone-positive patients.
If the effectiveness is proven, future patients will be able to receive treatment with a little more ease.
To verify the effectiveness, there is an experimental group that takes the real drug and a control group that takes a placebo that looks exactly like the real drug.
The ratio is half each.
The patient is curious about which side he belongs to, but it is not officially known.
However, if the drug has specific side effects, we can only guess based on the body's reaction.
--- p.48
Swish~ As soon as the barbershop passed by, the hair was cut off in clumps.
At first I was confused, but after a few times I got used to it.
When I looked in the mirror, the movie "The Last of the Mohicans" came back to life.
What a sight of such a brave warrior! I should have taken a photo, but Sam's skillful technique left me speechless.
--- p.128
Although I think I just need to live each day well, I feel complicated because of the uncertainty of radiation treatment and post-treatment care, as well as the deterioration of my condition.
I opened the thick iron door with all my might, exhausted, and when I opened it, it felt like there was another iron door.
Perhaps, the rest of your life will be spent on an unknown path.
Cancer cells grew because some part of the body was not functioning properly.
Standard treatment has eliminated any visible cancer, but we still need to make sure it doesn't grow back and clump together again.
The life of management.
No one can tell you the answer because there is no known answer yet.
I just try my best, make my own decisions, and do my best.
--- p.164
Many patients say that their complicated relationships are sorted out after they are diagnosed with cancer.
The bond with family can either deepen or become extremely bad.
In reality, some couples reconcile and overcome cancer together just before divorce, while others choose to break up after the diagnosis due to the other person's selfish behavior.
Will relationships become clearer when all other miscellaneous factors besides life disappear?
