The words "You've got cancer" can change your life -- for the better.

In her book, Sandra Bruney tells how a diagnosis of breast cancer led to a journey of physical, emotional and spiritual healing. Begun as a means of keeping a record of her treatment, which included surgery, chemotherapy and radiation, she soon realized that she was providing a road map for other women starting on the same life-affirming journey.

(PRWEB) January 22, 2004 --Who wouldnt rather go to California - or any place at all rather than to the hospital for surgery, chemotherapy and radiation treatments? Following her diagnosis of breast cancer, the author logged as many miles as it would have taken to drive from her Wadesboro, N.C., home across the country as she fought her disease.
   During the course of her treatment, Sandra found she had embarked on another journey: a journey of self-awareness that led to physical, emotional and spiritual wellness.
   Id Rather Go to California" describes this journey as well as what a newly-diagnosed breast cancer patient can expect as she begins her own journey.
   The message the author shares is that although cancer is a life-altering experience, it can also be a life-affirming one, for even if we cannot be cured, with Gods help we can be healed.
   Sandra Bruney has worked as a teacher, bank teller, reporter, and editor and is currently employed by the Anson County Chamber of Commerce. She also is a partner in Marshall Bruney Media Consultants as a website designer.
   Founder and charter member of the Anson County Writers Club, she has published historical articles, short stories, and poetry. This is her first book.
