A feminist breast cancer memoir of medical trauma, love, and how she found the strength to listen to her body.<\/b>
\nAs a young, queer woman, Catherine Guthrie had worked hard to feel at home in her body. However, after years writing about women\u2019s health and breast cancer, Guthrie is thrust into the role of the patient after a devastating diagnosis at age thirty-eight.\u00a0At least<\/i>, she thinks,\u00a0I know what I’m up against<\/i>.
\nShe was wrong. In one horrifying moment after another, everything that could go wrong does\u2014the surgeon gives her a double mastectomy but misses the cancerous lump, one of the most effective drug treatments fails, and a doctor’s error may have unleashed millions of breast cancer cells into her body.
\nFlat<\/i>\u00a0is Guthrie\u2019s story of how two bouts of breast cancer shook her faith in her body, her relationship, and medicine. Along the way, she challenges the view that breasts are essential to femininity and paramount to a woman\u2019s happiness. Ultimately, she traces an intimate portrayal of how cancer reshapes her relationship with Mary, her partner, revealing\u2014in the midst of crisis\u2014a love story.
\nFilled with candor, vulnerability, and resilience, Guthrie upends the \u201cpink ribbon\u201d narrative and offers a unique perspective on womanhood, what it means to be \u201cwhole,\u201d and the importance of women advocating for their desires.\u00a0Flat<\/i>\u00a0is a story about how she found the strength to forge an unconventional path\u2014one of listening to her body\u2014that she\u2019d been on all along.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":10693,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":""},"product_cat":[36],"product_tag":[],"yoast_head":"\nReclaiming My Body from Breast Cancer - WF Shopping<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Flat\u00a0is Guthrie\u2019s story of how two bouts of breast cancer shook her faith in her body, her relationship, and medicine.
