Overcoming the taboos around women's cancers
This book is the testimony of a committed woman, who bares her soul to lift the taboos weighing upon women's femininity, sexuality, and professional life, when they are affected in their own esh by illness.
In August 2013, Isabelle Guyomarch is the head of a ou- rishing industrial cosmetic group, employing 250 people, 80% of whom are women. She is the mother of two grown-up girls and has been passionately in love for 10 years with her second husband.
Suddenly she is diagnosed with aggressive stage-3 breast cancer. This means surgery, chemotherapy, and radio therapy. Her intense life and successful career come to a brutal standstill.
While struggling to survive, she decides to create an innovative cosmetic brand meant especially for women suffering from cancer. Five years after nishing treatment, Isabelle Guyomarch is still in remission. The author does not presume to teach any lessons. She shares her story to shed light on the experiences of others and liberate speech from the taboos surrounding women's cancers.
