If I Just Breathe
A memoir by Tina Koral
If I Just Breathe
Not just another breast cancer memoir.
In August 2003, Tina Koral was an ambitious medical research assistant with a blossoming career, and a newlywed with dreams of children. But her life was about to change forever. If I Just Breathe is the story of Tina's breast cancer diagnosis at age thirty, after her tumor was left to grow and spread for eighteen months because her doctors said she was too young to get breast cancer.
While in treatment, Tina initiated a medical malpractice lawsuit against two doctors and two major Chicago area hospitals. During this time she wrestled with the questions that many young women with cancer do - will this kill me? Will I be able to have children? Will the doctors be held responsible for their negligence?
With such universal themes of body image, fertility, and triumph over adversity,
If I Just Breathe will inspire any woman to be resilient in the face of life's difficult times.
A portion of the proceeds from the sales of this book will be donated to the Young Survival Coalition and the I'm Too Young For This! Cancer Foundation.
