SINGING THE LIFE: THE STORY OF A FAMILY IN THE SHADOW OF CANCER

Book ID/图书代码: 05380007B13027

English Summary/英文概要: As a result of a genetically-transmitted gene, all three Bryan sisters, Felicity, Elizabeth and Bunny have had cancer and, unusually, each of them a different cancer; ovarian, breast and pancreatic. As the gene also has a dominant inheritance, half of their family members can be expected to carry it. Now, in a personal and deeply affecting memoir, Elizabeth writes of her family’s extraordinary experience of this dreadful disease.
Writing not only as a daughter, sister and aunt of those afflicted and bereaved by cancer, but as a sufferer herself, she will tell of the shocks, sadnesses, that come with diagnosis and then treatment.
Giving a personal view from both the perspective of a patient and that of a relative, as well as comparing the impacts of remission and terminal prognoses on herself and those around her, Eloquently setting Elizabeth’s personal story against the fears, problems and worries that face those affected by cancer, this will be an inspirational and encouraging read unlike any other on the subject.

Elizabeth不仅是那些被病魔折磨,夺走生命的亲人们的女儿、姐姐、阿姨,而且她自己还深受病魔的困扰,Elizabeth就是以这样的多重身份,叙述了一个让人震惊、悲伤,充满医疗诊断和痛苦治疗的故事。
Elizabeth既从病人,又从病患者亲人的角度,比较了减缓病痛和病症末期预测对她周围的亲人和她自己构成的不同影响力。Elizabeth将面对癌症时恐惧、痛苦、担心的心情写成了这个动人的故事,这本书不同于其它有关此类主题的书籍,触动着读者的心灵,鼓舞着读者的精神。
