Summary "A narrative, in graphic novel format, of the author's life and experiences as a leukemia patient"-- Provided by publisher.
"When Catherine is diagnosed with acute leukemia, a deadly form of cancer that attacks the immune system, her life is turned upside down. Young and previously healthy, she now finds herself catapulted into the world of the seriously ill--constantly testing and waiting for results, undergoing endless medical treatments, learning to accept a changing body, communicating with a medical team, and relying on the support of her partner, family, and friends. A professional illustrator, Catherine decides to tell the story of her disease in this graphic novel, and she does so with great sincerity, humor, and rare lucidity. We accompany her through the waiting, the doubts, the fears, and the tears--but also the laughter, the love, and the strong will to live. ich in emotion, lighthearted, and profound, Down to the Bone is a powerful book." -- description from publisher's website. https://www.graphicmundi.org/books/978-1-63779-034-2.html
