it’s not often you get to say a memoir about going through breast cancer is full of laughs, but that is the case with the new book angel in the marble from white rock, b.c. writer anne kristiansen .
as breast cancer awareness month draws to a close, kristiansen’s book is heading out into the world where breast cancer makes up 28 per cent of all cancer diagnoses for b.c. women. this year, b.c. cancer is estimating 4,060 women in the province will be newly diagnosed with breast cancer.
before being diagnosed in 2017 with triple negative breast cancer (tnbc) kristiansen was happily writing a general blog called ageing gracelessly. then everything changed. for the record, tnbc is aggressive and makes up about 15-to-20 per cent of breast-cancer cases.
