| Publisher Description: What if you went to bed one night with a few health problems and woke up the next day to a diagnosis of cancer? How would it change your life? "Waking Up with CANCER" is an autobiographical story about an average American woman: daughter, granddaughter, sister, cousin, friend, aunt, co-worker, employee, boss, neighbor, girlfriend, wife, mother, grandmother; whose perspective was drastically changed by a life threatening diagnosis only one year after the same disease caused the sudden death of her only sister. It chronicles her tumultuous journey and the events that she believes led up to her illness. Constantly keeping the reader's attention, through both humor and heartache, the author gives an exciting, upfront, constantly moving, inside, candid view of her anything but "normal" childhood. From being the hyper active product of an unwanted pregnancy to being adopted by unsettled parents, falling into a life of rebellion which led to redemption, growing up to disappointment, and finding hope.
