Summary:
"In this remarkably inspirational story, Munira Premji describes how she battled three advanced cancers' Stage 4 Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, Stage 3 multiple myeloma, and Stage 3 breast cancer within a period of five years. Choosing Hope is a truly heroic story about resilience and hope in the face of overwhelming odds and at the threshold of death. The book is written as a series of chronological anecdotes, starting with the author's first heart-breaking diagnosis, when she began to explore and share her experiences in real time; it describes moments of utter darkness and sheer light, of despair and hope, of intense pain and joyful relief. It describes the vital support of family, friends, and hospitals, and the comfort provided by faith. Choosing Hope captures the psychological, physical, and emotional impacts of a cancer diagnosis and treatment. It is anecdotal in style and easy to read; it is moving and yet finds space for the humour that helped the author to get through; and it does not balk at describing the agony and humiliation that cancer patients endure. This book will appeal to recently diagnosed cancer patients and survivors, as well as caregivers, and to others facing health challenges."
