Full Circle: How Politics, Depression, and Yoga Helped Me Crush Colorectal Cancer and Crisis is an intimate, page-turning look at one woman’s battle with young-onset colorectal cancer, just as the incidence of this disease is on the rise among the under-40 population. Furthermore, Jessica addresses head-on the additional challenges–and advantages–of being a mental health patient and contrasts the medical system’s treatment of cancer and depression.
This book is dedicated to colorectal cancer patients and caregivers, mental health patients and caregivers, and anyone seeking inspiration for meeting–and crushing–crisis.
I’m Not Sh*ttin You is a personal depiction of the mistakes and lessons learned combatting and ultimately surviving colorectal cancer. There is nothing funny about cancer…ever. Yet, this book is told with heart and humor as Teresa maneuvers through the unknown territory of colorectal cancer including diagnosis, prognosis, surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation. An easy read with vital information to understand the signs and symptoms of the second leading cause of cancer-related death for men and women in our country.
