Sometimes, life goes…

The candid and uplifting story of one woman’s journey through breast cancer - and how families, friends and strangers on the internet can support loved ones who are going through the same.

On a 2017 day that will live forever in her memory, Isabel’s entire life suddenly went tits up.

Unless you’ve been there yourself, it’s hard to imagine just how difficult that moment is. The moment when the doctor looks you dead in the eyes and says, “Isabel, you have breast cancer”. Your mind runs a thousand miles a minute, with thoughts ranging from ‘How is that possible?’ to ‘How will I tell my mum?’ to ‘What do I do now?’ - and every imaginable thought in between, too.

None of us can ever be prepared for that moment. But Isabel hopes that by writing the most raw, candid and honest account of her journey through diagnosis, treatment and recovery, she can be a welcome support for others going through the same.

“If you’ve been touched by cancer or know someone going through it, this is the book for you.”

Finally, the real, honest truth of breast cancer diagnosis, treatment & recovery - for patients, friends, family & healthcare professionals

Out of adversity, comes clarity - and for Isabel that meant two things: first, the round-the-world motorbike adventure she’d been dreaming of had to become a reality, no matter what; second, the emotional and social support for people with breast cancer isn’t quite what people need.

By sharing intimately personal diaries she kept throughout her breast cancer journey, Isabel reveals the true reality of living with the Big C. There are tears, laughs, more tears - and lessons we can all take away with us to support friends, family and ourselves.

Tits Up! tackles the questions no one wants to ask:

  • what’s it really like to be diagnosed with cancer?

  • why do so many people still not want to talk about it?

  • why is the mental health impact overlooked?

  • what should I say to my friend/relative who’s been diagnosed? what shouldn’t I say?

  • does life ever really go back to normal?

  • I wish I had read this during my encounter with breast cancer. A must read. Buy it now!
