For more personal information on the author and her offers to help, please visit www.charlavan.com. Sometimes it is interesting to learn about an author before you read a book or just for your own curiosity sake. It is also where current happenings are updated in regard to the efforts to distribute the cancer diaries and things of interest in that world.
Of interest might be that for ten years and counting, she has written a newspaper column for her hometown newspaper, which you may want to read and many of those are listed in the blog or on her facebook. These are quite personal, usually a bit funny and strictly irreverent (which pretty much discribes the author as well). The column is called PEARLS and those are turned into ebooks on Amazon. Those are 'Pearls of Wisdom or What to Wear with a Black Dress.
You will also find other writings in the small list of ebooks on Amazon. For instance, TITTATTS; LIFE AFTER BREAST CANCER is what is offered in book published format, and it has a collection of those 'pearls' as part of the printed book. Subsequently the book was re-done to incorporate further information such as explanation of more terms and effects of various medications offered because the 'pearls' were removed and more on the treatment of breast cancer was inserted. It actually was an additional book intended as a follow- up to Tittatts and was called THE LUMP. So, for the electronic version, it is called the 'redux' of the original book. It is Tittatts plus The Lump, No Pearls.
The Breast Cancer Diary is what is being offered free of charge to the next patient. Please request these diaries by writing to
charlavan@gmail.com.
The diary is a very important gift to the patient at a time when they are scared, hurt and intimidated. Please help us give these away while we are giving her some structure on her new journey. They can only be offered as long as we have sponsorship from ones like you to help defray the costs involved. It is an important gift and one she and her loved ones will not realize they need until they have it.
