Me, Bea, Cancer Free: A Kindly Blunt reflection on life, hope and thriving after cancer (Editiion)

"HUGE GUILT THAT I AM A SURVIVOR"

The cancer's gone. The treatment is over. The scans are clear. So why does everything still feel so... hard?

In Me, Bea, Cancer Free, Helen Bullen returns with her signature wit and truth-telling to share the brutally honest, sometimes hilarious, often heart breaking reality of life after cancer. The world expects her to bounce back. To smile more. To be grateful. But nobody handed her a guidebook for navigating survivor's guilt, exploding boobs at airport security (almost), or being told at passport control that she doesn't look like her old self.

And then there's Bea, her one remaining boob, trying her best to hold the fort, shoulder the bra, and carry the emotional load that Agnes left behind.

This is not a tale of tidy endings. It's a story of scars both physical and emotional and the slow process of rediscovering life after a diagnosis. With her Kindly Blunt style, Helen reminds readers they're not alone, they're not crazy, and they don't have to "move on" before they're ready.

Because life after cancer isn't the epilogue. It's a whole new damn book.
