BECAUSE OF YOU: THE FIGHT OF MY LIFE - A STORY OF SURVIVAL (FULLY UPDATED)

Book ID/图书代码： 06140508B28120

English Summary/英文概要： This could be any woman’s story. And it is every mother’s worst nightmare.
Ex-Casualty actress Rebekah was just thirty-four years old and seven months pregnant when she found a lump in her breast. After twice being examined by doctors and having been told that it was nothing to worry about, Rebekah pushed it from her mind and concentrated on the birth of her beautiful daughter. But one night, whilst nursing her baby, Rebekah realised she could still feel the lump. And it was bigger. Finally, her worst fears were confirmed: just ten weeks after giving birth, Rebekah was told that she had a fast-growing grade three cancer. And that it had spread. It was the beginning of a journey to hell and back.
Instead of enjoying her baby’s smiles, Rebekah found herself preparing for aggressive chemotherapy by cutting off her waist-length hair before it fell out and ordering wigs and fake eyelashes. Facing a potentially terminal illness is the most terrible thing to contemplate, but for Rebekah, dying and leaving behind her beloved baby was never an option and now she has embarked on the fight of her life.
This isn’t just a book about the horror of cancer. It is about facing illness with humour and courage. It’s a celebration of the special, unbreakable bond between mothers and daughters.
It’s about survival.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 感人的心靈勵志故事 --遺留給孩子的愛

這本書可能是任何一個女人的故事，但卻是即將初為人母的準媽媽所面臨最可怕的噩夢。
當時34歲的Rebekah已懷有7個月的身孕，過著幸福日子的她卻在這時發現左胸口隆起腫塊。在歷經兩次的身體檢查，醫生都認為這個腫塊不會造成影響。放下心中石頭的Rebekah轉移注意力來關注著即將誕生的女兒。但是在小嬰兒出生的十週後，正要餵奶的Rebekah卻遭受意外的打擊，她胸口的腫塊已變大、癌細胞正擴散，醫生宣佈她的病情已到第三期。才認為剛從鬼門關回來的她，卻必須要面對這難過可怕的事實。
為了剛出生的女兒，Rebekah拭去淚水決定不再悲傷。看到女兒可愛的微笑，她做好準備來積極的參與化療，甚至預先剪去已留到腰部的秀髮，化療前已備好假髮和睫毛。而這本書是為了要給她的女兒Gigi，在Rebekah未來離開後所遺留給女兒的紀念。
Rebekah在本書中所要談的不是要說癌症的可怕，而是關於如何以勇氣和輕鬆的心來面對疾病。她如何在有生之年讓自己的孩子記得母親帶給孩子的愛。(CL)
