About This Item
New York: W. W. Norton & Company, 1994. First Edition. First Printing. Hardcover. Very good/very good. 256 pages. Short ink notation and pencil erasure on front endpaper. Signed by the author. While 180, 000 American women a year discover that they have breast cancer and millions more are living with the aftermath and uncertainty of the disease, the circumstances of Gayle Feldman's diagnosis were almost uniquely poignant. This is the moving memoir of a woman who discovered she had breast cancer when she was eight months pregnant--and the same age as her mother was when she died of breast cancer in her 40's. In a period of less than three weeks, Feldman (an editor at Publishers Weekly) had her baby's birth induced and her breast removed. The baby was healthy and the operation successful. A year later, she had her second breast removed as a prophylactic measure, to ward off the 50%-60% chance that the cancer would return.
