MINI: I Really Want to Live. My Personal Experience

This book is written by a woman who fought breast cancer for several years and managed to overcome the disease. Darya Dontsova spoke shockingly candidly about how long she searched for good doctors, how she underwent several surgeries, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy, how for many years she took hormones and managed to cope with the weight changes caused by the medications. This is not a narrative by a physician or recommendations from a psychologist. It is an extremely frank description of personal experience and simple yet very effective advice from a woman who survived breast cancer. Her account of moral and physical sensations, the moments of despair, and what gave her the strength to fight for her life. They say everyone suffers alone. Darya Dontsova decided to write this book so that both patients and their relatives would know: they are not alone, cancer can be defeated, and they made the words "Never give up!" their motto.
