An expansive, darkly funny, and deeply personal reflection on the reality of living with--and dying from--metastatic breast cancer.


Deena stepped out of the shower and opened her towel in the steam. Does my breast look weird? These words irrevocably change the lives of writer Ariel Gore and her wife. As they descend into a world of doctors and tests, medications and insurance, sickness and treatments and hope and pain and more, they discover just how little they truly knew--despite the awareness campaigns and hyper-visible pink ribbons--about the reality of breast cancer. Over the four years following Deena's terminal diagnosis, Gore does what she always does, no matter how difficult or personal the subject: she writes about it.
