Every woman knows something about breast cancer. We've seen bald heads and pink ribbons and maybe even imagined scarred bodies. One in eight women will face her own breast cancer diagnosis. Her cancer experience will be unique. It is certain that the support of friends and family will ease the journey. But, what do you say to someone with cancer? How can you help? "Exploding the Enemies Inside Me" chronicles the author's first ten months as a cancer patient/survivor. She describes the shock of hearing she has cancer, sorting through the confusion about treatment and facing her fear of death. E-mail became a useful tool to notify a large social network of her condition and her progress. Friends responded with words of concern and love, giving the author comfort and a confidence to fight and survive. Those healing words became part of an arsenal of weapons to eliminate the cancer cells. The author offers two lists, "Things That Help" and "Things That Can Hurt" a cancer patient. Along with the many examples of correspondence that made a difference, this chapter provides guidelines to help support your own future survivor.

About the Author

Deborah Seter, author of "Exploding the Enemies Inside Me", found a lump in her breast in January, 2008. Her annual mammogram had been negative just months before, and fortunately this lump was benign. Then in May, hospitalized for abdominal pain, she heard the dreaded word -- cancer. Her team of doctors diagnosed Stage Four Breast Cancer, and there was worse news. The breast cancer is "triple negative" which tends to be aggressive and resilient, with fewer treatment options. For many months, life centered on both getting chemotherapy and learning to live with cancer. "Exploding the Enemies Inside Me" is the diary and e-mail log of the first ten months of Deborah's cancer experience. Life is slowly returning to pre-cancer rhythms. A Wisconsin native, now living in Punta Gorda, Florida, Deborah retired from a career of selling computers. She continues her art education and enjoys making jewelry and painting.
