Synopsis: A much-needed book for the modern readership, providing support and guidance for every stage of the breast cancer journey, written by a breast-cancer survivor.

Welcome to your breast cancer self-care bible.

Stronger Than Before is the book Alison Porter went looking for when she first learned she had breast cancer. It's a practical handbook to guide you - and your friends and family - through every stage of the illness, from early diagnosis to treatment choices, and ultimately to a life beyond cancer.

In this book, you'll discover:

the different types of breast cancer, what to ask your doctor and how to make the choices that are right for you
self-help techniques on every level - physical, emotional, mental and spiritual - to support you through treatment and recovery
how to view your illness as a catalyst for post-traumatic growth, and move on with your life with greater meaning and purpose
your options for reconstruction and how to maintain a cancer-preventative lifestyle
advice for friends and family, so they can be truly helpful in how they offer you support
Written by a breast cancer survivor and thriver, Stronger Than Before contains invaluable information, guidance and tips, as well as tools and techniques to help you emerge from this life-changing experience healthier, more purposeful and stronger than before.
