Suzanne Dalton has accomplished much in her life—she is an artist, writer, actor, web designer, and program manager. The one undertaking for which she did not sign up was breast cancer. In her new memoir, humor guides Suzanne through difficult decisions about treatments, surgeries, and reconstruction. Her story, told through witty letters to friends, includes a party before surgery, a zany poodle, and refusal to let cancer define her. A Year Lost, A Life Gained: Fighting Breast Cancer With Wit, Humor, Friends and a Perky Poodle is at its heart a beautifully-told story and a guide intended to aid anyone diagnosed with cancer whether they've completed the journey or are just embarking upon the path.

Reviews:
An amazing book...educational for those who have gone through or are going through the process, or know someone who is.
- PB mother of a breast cancer survivor.
A beautifully told story and guide on how to aid anyone diagnosed with cancer. Suzanne was brave enough to let people in to help her through their friendship, whether it was watering her garden, washing a floor, or grooming her poodle!
- Rene Nardone, twenty-three-year breast cancer survivor
I have often stood by, unsure about how best to help friends and loved ones with breast cancer. I wish I'd read 'A Year Lost, A Life Gained' years ago. I would have known what to do. This brilliant, funny, compassionate book is not just for women. It's for everyone!
