As she battled over the next year against this potentially killer disease, she had the foresight and courage to keep a diary. "My devils were around to haunt and scare me into going to a dark place that makes me frightened." Whatever Gets You Through the Night is not intended as a sad tale, but rather as a shared experience for family and friends to have a bit more knowledge about cancer and its treatment. This honest and sensitive day-by-day account of a difficult journey is commendable, the author's positive message is inspirational.
