"Being Diagnosed with ovarian cancer does not need to be a death sentence." ~Luci Berardi
Chasing Rainbows: My Triumph Over Ovarian Cancer is the story of Luci Berardi who at 42 was diagnosed with Stage IV ovarian cancer— a cancer that is the deadliest of the female cancers. Luci shares openly with you her initial discovery that something was amiss; her perseverance in trying to figure out what was wrong with her after doctors brushed her and her symptoms off; her mental and physical ups and downs; and her triumphant win over this stealth opponent as she chased the rainbows that brought her success and recovery.
Chasing Rainbows is in your hands because you have been recently diagnosed with ovarian cancer or know a friend or family member who is in a fight against cancer. As you embark on this journey, as a cancer fighter or a caregiver, know: • There will be times during this fight which may be more difficult than others; never lose hope. • You will meet wonderful people on this path who will forever change the way you look at life. • It’s okay to ask for help.
“If there is one thing I hope every reader takes away from my experience, it is to be your own advocate. Do not just accept what a physician tells you; listen to your body. Make sure you ask questions and if something doesn’t feel right, be sure to share your concerns with your physician or get a second opinion.†~Luci Berardi
