Unbreakable

Bone cancer is rare enough that finding others who understand the experience can be genuinely difficult. Surgery on the skeleton, the question of limb salvage, the long rehabilitation of function — these are things that most people in a waiting room have not faced. The fifty writers here have, and they speak carefully and fully about what it was like.

Inside this volume

These accounts cover the range of bone cancer experience: the pain that led to imaging, the biopsy, the surgical decisions including limb-sparing procedures and, in some cases, amputation, chemotherapy, and the extended work of physical recovery. Writers address prosthetics, phantom sensations, and the rebuilding of a life inside a changed body.

Who it's for

For those facing or recovering from bone cancer and the major surgeries it may require, and for families and friends who want to understand an experience that few in their circle will have encountered.
