Baring All and Beating Breast Cancer
When Jo Joyce was 46 years old, life was good. She was super fit and very happy, a dedicated teacher and loving mum and wife. Then a routine breast cancer screening turned her world upside down.
The story of Jo’s journey is a raw and honest account of the diagnosis and treatment that saved her life. It is delivered with the pragmatism, determination and humour that helped Jo survive, and which led her to found the national Can at 40. Do at 45 campaign.
All profits go to Breast Cancer Care WA, which offers assistance to hundreds of newly diagnosed West Australians and their families every year.
“This book is a must read. Jo’s raw, authentic and warm account of her experience of breast cancer “tells it how it is,” with a great dose of her wicked sense of humour. Jo’s determination to ensure that more women access breast screening from a younger age is inspiring, and it’s saving lives. She’s a change-maker, and we should all literally take a leaf out of her book.”
— Zoe Mc Alpine, CEO Breast Cancer Care WA
