The Heroics of Falling Apart: One Couple's Breast Cancer Journey

Judy Gordon and Dan Gordon

The Heroics of Falling Apart 

by Judy and Dan Gordon

Conventional wisdom says one must "fight" breast cancer, but fighting is not for everyone. For some, falling apart proves to be the better response. And that was true for Judy.

In this candid memoir, Judy and Dan Gordon share their story of dealing with breast cancer-finding their own authentic way to survive the ordeal of coping with a life-threatening illness. The Heroics of Falling Apart: One Couple's Breast Cancer Journey examines the broad range of experiences from the surprisingly different viewpoints of patient and caregiver, and does so with a candidness and humor that others facing a similar journey will find touching and inspiring, as well as informative.

A cancer diagnosis launches an overwhelming process-decisions to be made, questions to ponder, and emotions and people with which to cope. Often, simply knowing that there is no right or wrong way to get through it makes the journey bearable, a fact made strikingly clear through the Gordon's deeply personal and detailed account of their journey.
