***** Bravely Told With Heart —– Review by Rox Burkey
Cancer, the big ‘C’ word, often strikes fear in our hearts. Yet, some, like Carol S. Kurtz, bravely share their journey to inspire and empower others. The Triple Pink Butterfly Effect is Carol’s stunning and courageous story, a beacon of hope in the headwinds of adversity.
Part of the difficulty of this diagnosis is taking the next step in terms of what to do. A doctor can share treatment information, but hearing the steps taken by someone who faced many options hits home. Carol fearlessly tells it like it is, injecting her humor and making you laugh between tears. Her treatment descriptions are unabashedly honest, creating a deep emotional connection with the reader. Best of all, she provides valuable information on the latest chemotherapy drugs and ongoing clinical trials available.
Anyone at any stage in their battle against breast cancer, not only triple negative, will appreciate reading this book. It highlights the value of individual courage, humor, and tenacity to beat the odds to survive and thrive while positively emphasizing family support. The Triple Pink Butterfly Effect is a well-written, must-read for anyone facing their journey to beat cancer.
