Breast cancer is a terrifying disease that, this year, will claim the lives of 630 Irish women. There are many cancer-related books on diet and alternative therapies but I\'ve Got Cancer, But It Hasnt Got Me by Derry-based Kate Dooher, is different. Just before her 50th birthday, on the eve of receiving a PhD, Kate was diagnosed with breast cancer. Four years on and, fingers crossed, her prognosis is good. Her reaction? To write a book that may help not only other people with cancer by demystifying the treatments, charting the highs and lows, physically, spiritually and emotionally, but would be invaluable to family and friends. A moving but practical guide to cancer. Review appeared in Image magazine in October 2004.
