Gutsy Survivors

Colon cancer often arrives after months of symptoms that were easy to dismiss — or after a colonoscopy that changed an ordinary day into something else entirely. What follows involves decisions, procedures, and an intimacy with one's own body that nobody quite prepares you for.

Inside this volume

Fifty writers describe their diagnoses and the journeys that followed: surgery, chemotherapy, the adjustment to a stoma for those who needed one, and the years of surveillance scans that become part of the new normal. They are honest about the indignities and the fears, and about what recovery eventually allowed.

Who it's for

For those facing or recovering from colon cancer, those managing life with a stoma, and the family members who want to understand the experience beyond the clinical outline.
