My Breast Cancer Adventure: Or What Can Happen Following a Breast Cancer Diagnosis

A journey does not always involve travel. So discovered adventurer Emma Scattergood.

In 2022, Emma was diagnosed with stage 3 invasive lobular breast cancer. Unsure what it really meant, she channelled her energy into understanding and fighting this increasingly common disease—and soon realised it was another journey worth sharing.

This insightful and often entertaining book is the result: an 18-month roller-coaster through diagnosis, double mastectomy, chemotherapy, radiation and hormone therapy. A deeply personal experience that also explores integrative approaches, infections, supplements, diet, exercise and more.

Told with honesty, humour and compassion, Emma aims to:

• Shine a light on how breast cancer is detected—and what can happen next.
• Offer guidance and reassurance to the newly diagnosed.
• Provide insight for those who have never faced it.

To broaden the picture, Emma includes stories from eleven other women—each with their own unique path and perspective on survival.
