This Might Surprise You

In This Might Surprise You: A Breast Cancer Story, Hayley Gullen maps the physical and emotional trajectory of her diagnosis, treatment and recovery from breast cancer. But this is no ordinary memoir: told in a distinctive cartoon format, Hayley recounts in detail the reality of an experience by turns devastating, painful, absurd and ultimately life-affirming, which will at some point affect 1 in 7 women and their families in the UK. Providing indispensable advice on navigating the medical system, bridging the doctor-patient divide, and talking and listening to your partner, children and loved ones as you go through the experience together, this book offers crucial support and hope.
