Every three minutes a woman in the United States is diagnosed with breast cancer. My third minute came November 19, 2007. Still in my twenties and a single mother, the events that lead up to and the events that succeeded my diagnosis were as unnerving, provocative and soul jarring as the prognosis itself. Fresh out of the frying pan of one unhealthy relationship, I found myself dancing in the fires of another. As my personal life became a circus, my work environment became a pressure cooker and just when I thought I couldn't take anymore, I found a lump in my breast. The irony of it all being, before the diagnosis I felt like I was dying and it wasn't until I found out that I had cancer that I began living. In this two part memoir you will come to understand my beginnings, my fears, my addictions, loves and the Soundtrack that is My Life. You may already know me as the Poet: Siren Lyric Muse or have heard my voice in "That Song" (Marvin's Room) but my story, my life cannot be summed up in a Youtube video, nor a 5 minute song, or subsequently misinformed blogs. This memoir began long before the aforementioned media exposure, as I have been writing for years and in the months before my diagnosis It seemed as though the dreams and the premonitions I was having were leading me to this moment: to complete my books. When I first began writing this book it was to speak of the gut wrenching love that had brought me to the place I found myself at the time, in several toxic situations and relationships. This book was then titled: The Way a Woman Loves... Well, life had more in store for my novel than just the casualties of love. And just as love is the most transient of all things carbon based, so are book titles and premature eureka. I have realized I cannot speak to the way a woman loves. In fact the way I loved is more a cautionary tale than a testament for love- this instead is... My Heart Laid Bare.

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • PULITZER PRIZE FINALIST • This inspiring, exquisitely observed memoir finds hope and beauty in the face of insurmountable odds as an idealistic young neurosurgeon attempts to answer the question What makes a life worth living? NAMED ONE OF PASTE’S BEST MEMOIRS OF THE DECADE • NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY The New York Times Book Review • People • NPR • The Washington Post • Slate • Harper’s Bazaar • Time Out New York • Publishers Weekly • BookPage Finalist for the PEN Center USA Literary Award in Creative Nonfiction and the Books for a Better Life Award in Inspirational Memoir At the age of thirty-six, on the verge of completing a decade’s worth of training as a neurosurgeon, Paul Kalanithi was diagnosed with stage IV lung cancer. One day he was a doctor treating the dying, and the next he was a patient struggling to live. And just like that, the future he and his wife had imagined evaporated. When Breath Becomes Air chronicles Kalanithi’s transformation from a naïve medical student “possessed,” as he wrote, “by the question of what, given that all organisms die, makes a virtuous and meaningful life” into a neurosurgeon at Stanford working in the brain, the most critical place for human identity, and finally into a patient and new father confronting his own mortality. What makes life worth living in the face of death? What do you do when the future, no longer a ladder toward your goals in life, flattens out into a perpetual present? What does it mean to have a child, to nurture a new life as another fades away? These are some of the questions Kalanithi wrestles with in this profoundly moving, exquisitely observed memoir. Paul Kalanithi died in March 2015, while working on this book, yet his words live on as a guide and a gift to us all. “I began to realize that coming face to face with my own mortality, in a sense, had changed nothing and everything,” he wrote. “Seven words from Samuel Beckett began to repeat in my head: ‘I can’t go on. I’ll go on.’” When Breath Becomes Air is an unforgettable, life-affirming reflection on the challenge of facing death and on the relationship between doctor and patient, from a brilliant writer who became both.

It's the worst possible news - someone you love is diagnosed with cancer. Before you have a chance to do anything, you know you'll need to say something. The usual clichés spring immediately to mind, but surely there's something better to say than "What doesn't kill us makes us stronger"? Just what do you say to someone who has cancer? In Things Not To Say To Someone Who Has Cancer, author Jo Hilder draws on her experience as a cancer survivor, advocate and support group facilitator to introduce new ways to talk about cancer, and to the people we love who are diagnosed with it. With warmth and humor, Jo gently eases us into the inevitable interactions we face when loved ones receive a cancer diagnosis, exploring common challenges we face, socially and emotionally. Jo identifies, addresses and dispels the common cancer clichés we often resort to, introducing simple and comfortable methods for turning awkward interactions into open conversations about cancer. Sharing from her own journey as a cancer patient and her experience delivering cancer support programs, Jo helps her readers understand the reality of cancer and treatment, contrasting this with common stereotypes and cancer myths. Things Not To Say To Someone Who Has Cancer is a practical guide for the uninitiated, providing support for anyone who finds themselves bewildered and afraid in the face of a cancer diagnosis. "If it were an ideology, it would be terrorism. Cancer catches us unawares, unprepared, without mercy or prejudice, forever altering the lives it touches. Jo Hilder has tackled a very difficult subject in Things Not To Say To Someone Who Has Cancer - the very essence of our first contact with cancer. In acknowledging those first emotions and reactions and naming our fears, she sensitively constructs a platform for what is inevitably a long arduous journey for all involved. Having been through that experience personally, I feel Things Not To Say To Someone With Cancer is a great place for anyone to start." Brad Fitzpatrick, husband of Christine who passed away from breast cancer, 1997. "In Things Not to Say to Someone Who Has Cancer, Jo Hilder provides a friendly, well-written guide for things to say instead of the usual clichés. Things Not To Say is a great book for cancer patients, cancer survivors, carers, friends, colleagues, neighbors and health professionals." Carol Rhodes, cancer survivor and program facilitator, Living Well After Cancer. "This book is for anyone who has heard themselves say to a person with cancer 'Let me know if there is anything I can do for you' or 'Just be strong', and that's probably all of us. Beyond the expected list of do's and don'ts for supporting someone with cancer, Jo offers a way to open up conversations, leading us to a deeper and more authentic way of relating around a cancer diagnosis. Jo suggests there is a better way to face cancer with our loved ones." Carolyn Grenville, cancer advocate. "Jo tackles a tough issue with compassion, humor and sensitivity, challenging existing approaches to talking about cancer by shining a light on a new way to communicate around a cancer diagnosis. Things Not To Say also acknowledges the good intentions underpinning those things we know we shouldn't say to someone with cancer, but seem to stumble into anyway. This warm and thoughtful book is much more than a guide of what not to do, and contains much food for thought on new ways to address the issue of cancer and its impact on the ones we love." Kelly Williams "Positive and wise, this book goes well beyond what's promised. Things Not To Say To Someone Who Has Cancer doesn't just tell us what not to say, but leads us along a path to a far more positive and comprehensive way of approaching loved ones with cancer. Far from just being a list, Things Not To Say encourages us to leap forward into a better way, and to trust ourselves to relax into a more natural way of being with someone who has cancer." Carrie Green
