520    From the book jacket: Chemo Brain. Fatigue. Chronic Pain. 
       Insomnia. Depression. These are just a few of the ongoing,
       debilitating symptoms that plague some breast cancer 
       survivors long after their treatments have officially 
       ended. After The Cure is a compelling read filled with 
       fascinating portraits of women who are living with the 
       aftermath of breast cancer. Having heard repeatedly that 
       the problems are all in your head, many don't know where 
       to turn for help. The doctors who now refuse to validate 
       their symptoms are often the very ones they depended on to
       provide life-saving treatments. Sometimes family members, 
       who provided essential support through months of 
       chemotherapy and radiation, don't believe them. Their work
       lives, already disrupted by both cancer and its treatment,
       are further undermined by the lingering symptoms. And 
       every symptom is a constant reminder of the trauma of 
       diagnosis, the ordeal of treatment, and the specter of 
       recurrence. Most narratives about surviving breast cancer 
       end with the conclusion of chemotherapy and radiation, 
       painting stereotypical portraits of triumphantly healthy 
       survivors, women who not only survive but emerge better 
       and stronger than before. After The Cure allows us to hear
       the voices of those who are silenced by the optimistic 
       breast cancer culture, women who live with a broad array 
       of health problems long after therapy ends. Here, at last,
       survivors step out of the shadows and speak compellingly 
       about their real stories, giving voice to the complicated,
       often bittersweet realities of life after the cure.
