The Language of Cancer
NOVEMBER 16, 2009 MONDAY AT 3PM CT

 
 
Mary Cappello, the author of Called Back, a stunning memoir about surviving breast cancer, says cancer is like entering a foreign country where you have to learn a foreign language. Some people shut down and live like strangers in a strange land. Mary fought back, questioning everything, the pamphlets, the blogs, the kitsch and the pink ribbon.
