Breathing out

"Karen Hockney had the perfect life, and her extraordinary battle with breast cancer is the poignant story of a woman determined not just to prevail over a terrible illness, but to live life to the full in the process. As an Englishwoman living in the south of France, Karen had to contend with language barriers and an unfamiliar health system--albeit an extraordinarily efficient one. Not only that, as a leading showbusiness writer for publications as prominent as 'Hello, ' 'The Times' and 'You Magazine, ' Karen's job involved travelling around the world to meet and interview some of the most famous and influential celebrities of our time. How could she cope with facing them having lost her hair, and battling nausea and exhaustion? And how would they react to her illness? Was it really possible to go from cancer diagnosis to Cannes Film Festival in the space of a few weeks? A memoir with a difference, 'Breathing Out' is full of practical advice, knowledge and invaluable insights garnered from Karen's journey and her victory over cancer."--Back cover.
