A New Day and a New Normal

About the Book

One in every eight women is expected to be diagnosed with breast cancer. In January of 2018, author and nurse Rosemary R. King became that one woman, finding herself the patient in the current medical system with all its twists and turns. During her journey, she experienced a host of issues, including changes in her appearance, energy level, family relations, and friendship. It was frightening, scary, and terrifying all at the same time, but King found solace in journaling. It allowed her to quietly put her emotions, thoughts, and feelings down on paper. In A New Day and a New Normal, she offers a journal to help other breast cancer patients record their physical and emotional healing journey. She communicates that there is a new day, and it is a new normal. There is also hope and resolve. This journal also offers comprehensive appendices which include questions to ask specialists, book references, websites, current Facebook support groups, phone apps, and a glossary of terms.
