Not All Bad Comes to Harm You: Observations of a Cancer Survivor, (Paperback)

Thousands of people have cancer. Thousands of people are fighting it. Thousands more are living with it. Author Janice Mock is just one of those thousands. But in Not All Bad Comes to Harm You, Mock shares her story to help others find new insight, strength, inspiration, and self-awareness.

It all started in February 2011 when fifty-one-year-old Mock discovered a small lump in her neck. She was diagnosed with stage four ovarian cancer, and treatment began. In this memoir, Mock narrates her journey, experiences, and thoughts beginning with a life-threatening cancer diagnosis to recovery and beyond. She discusses details of how she changed her focus from victim to survivor, to pursuing life rather than succumbing to death, and why she thought it was a good idea to freeze her head to forty degrees below zero.

Grown from the tiny beginnings of a blog intended to communicate medical updates with family and friends, Not All Bad Comes to Harm You tells Mock's story-from the joys and travails of the bumpy cancer road to evolving thoughts about living beyond her illness.
