One Step at a Time by Lenor Madruga Chappel
Lenor's story of living through extremely frightening circumstances is truly mouth dropping, amazing.
Not only did she face being diagnosed with a very rare bone cancer, chondrosarcoma, but the only effective treatment for her was a full amputation (hemipelvectomy) with surgical removal of her leg and a portion of her pelvis. During a time in my life when I was faced with the same diagnosis, and so discouraged, I was given this book by my mother. It gave me the hope to carry on to realize a mother with children could not only survive, but thrive.
Lenor's story of how she dealt with her diagnosis, her surgical experience and her positive recovery is more than inspiring.
Though the diagnosis and surgical aspects of her story sound frightening, this book is not gory. It is uplifting and positive. It teaches by example how to get inner strength through such an incredibly devastating life circumstance. Even without facing such medical possibilities, this is a book for anyone to benefit from reading.

Anyone who fights to beat any kind of cancer or other debilitating disease is a hero in my book! She just has to be something special because of how she stood when other have given up.
ReplyDeleteI agree. She was such an inspiration to me to keep trying to keep going, to keep hoping for the best!
ReplyDeleteElizabeth, I've known you a long time, but never knew you had cancer!
