About the Book
1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime. I am one of those women. FLAT PLEASE is my story.
After the initial shock of hearing that you have breast cancer, women find themselves navigating the foreign waters of medical diagnostics, surgery and treatment.
As a fellow traveller on this road, Ellyn Winters quickly realized that with knowledge comes power, and that power gives women the semblance of control in what is, quite honestly an uncontrollable situation.
She began to understand that many women diagnosed with breast cancer are left at the mercy of the process and the healthcare system. They are often uncertain about their next steps. They are bewildered, traumatized and frightened beyond belief. They are ashamed. And they also can feel alone and adrift in their diagnosis.
Funny, dark, uplifting, real and packed with practical, curated wisdom, FLAT PLEASE is a love letter to other women. Written by a survivor FLAT PLEASE is the quintessential girlfriend’s guide to breast cancer, helping those newly diagnosed navigate the turbulent waters of medical diagnostics, doctor’s appointments, surgery and treatments with greater confidence and optimism.
For friends and family members who are part of that woman’s care circle, FLAT PLEASE is also an essential read. It offers a vital window of understanding into their loved one’s world and the emotional roller coaster they currently ride.
