Earlier this week I shared information about Erin Arbabha’s memoir and self-help book, I Have Survived. Please read on …
SYNOPSIS
Erin’s memoir of her journey is very personal, fascinating and life changing. She finds herself stuck between two cultures and believes when her core femininity are challenged after losing her hair and breasts. 
In “I have Survived”, Erin walks you through her first warning signs that she neglected for 6 months and then later when she learned about her diagnosis ending up with multiple surgeries followed by 6 months of aggressive chemotherapy. It is when she is at at the darkest and lowest point of her life that she finds beautiful side of herself that transcends her beyond the physical world. She finds peace, beauty and tranquility that she had never experienced before.
Erin shares valuable section at the end of the book where she gives advise to patients, friends and family members, caregivers, medical community and employers.
I Have Survived is endorsed by Nancy Brinker, chief founder of Susan G Komen Foundation, Race for the Cure.
Erin, why did you write this book?
My intention in writing this book is to share the thoughts I collected while journaling during this period, so that others can find solace in my hardships and triumphs. If I can help only even a handful of women, then it is worth it.
What do you do for fun?
I love speeding time with my dog, Jelly Bean. I enjoy fitness and art. I row 2-3 times a week and try to participate in pairing workshop as much as i can.
