Writer Daria Dontsova talks about her experience with breast cancer. Perhaps her story will be able to support women who have experienced this disease.
For the first time, writer Daria Dontsova talks in such detail about her experience of fighting breast cancer and defeating the disease in order to support women who are faced with a terrible diagnosis. And to convince them: the disease is curable, it can and should be fought. Dontsova describes the feelings and actions familiar to many cancer patients: attempts to hide their heads in the sand for as long as possible, not recognizing the diagnosis, then horror, despair and fear. She talks about meetings with doctors, far from all of whom were attentive and conscientious, about operations (including the one that most women think is the most terrible — radical mastectomy), the side effects of chemotherapy and hormonal treatment, and how she coped with them … Dontsova does not get tired of repeating: illness is not a curse, it is a chance to change your life. It was the fight against cancer that taught her, against all odds, to look at the world with humor and optimism and to appreciate life, to notice its simplest joys. As you know, it was in the intensive care unit, recovering from the operation, that Dontsova began to write her first detective story.
