Review: What Doesn't Kill You

What Doesn't Kill You by Rachel Haynes
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is a book about hope, family, love and cancer.

Rachel was diagnosed with Bowel Cancer and went through surgery…..lots of surgery, chemo both IV and in tablet form, and this is her story of her traumatic journey.

It’s honest and heartfelt and so very accurate. As a stage 4 cancer host myself I know the constant fear and anxiety of the hospital appointments, treatment, scans and horror of horrors, results days. It really helps to know that others undergoing these ‘regimes’ feel exactly the same.

I loved Rachel’s humour, her family and the odd glass of wine!

If anyone is about to start any cancer treatment, is currently undergoing or has finished treatment, this really is a must read. It shows there is hope and love in this world and doctors and surgeons really are doing their very best to keep you on this planet as long as they can.

I would also recommend this for anyone who knows someone with cancer, as it gives an insight into how it feels and what’s behind the ‘I’m fine’ statement…..An emotional, honest and down to earth brilliant read.

Thank you to Ailsa at Watkins Media for the opportunity to read this for free. This is my honest and unbiased review.
