Breast Cancer Through My Eyes: The Christian, the Physician, the Patient - Paperback

by Michelle B. Calhoun (Author)

With one diagnosis, a Christian doctor and mother was handed yet another label: cancer patient. Breast Cancer Through My Eyes is Dr. Michelle B. Calhoun's honest memoir about her personal journey through breast cancer and her sixteen years as a survivor. Calhoun examines pain and sickness from a unique vantage point: that of an experienced physician and devout Christian. Her candid storytelling, personal reflections, and journal entries compose a profound story about pain, faith, family, and daily gratitude for God's grace. The narrative, born of Calhoun's deep medical knowledge intertwined with her unwavering trust in God, creates an empowering example for patients and believers. Calhoun's cancer journey taught her that even doctors aren't immune to sickness, and similarly, that faithful Christians aren't immune to suffering. The key, readers will learn, is relying on God for daily strength, healing, and a pathway through life's struggles. Breast Cancer Through My Eyes is a testament to God's enduring love. It encourages its readers to foster faith in God every day, but especially during our darkest times. Dr. Michelle B. Calhoun is a board-certified physician of internal medicine with thirty years of experience caring for her patients. She lives in a suburb of Detroit, Michigan and co-owns a medical private practice nearby. Calhoun was raised in a Christian home and graduated from Spelman College and Michigan State University College of Osteopathic Medicine. Today, Dr. Calhoun remains an active member of her church community. Over the years, she has served in many capacities: In the women's ministry, children's ministry, Christian-education ministry, greeters ministry, leadership support ministry and on the ministry council. She is also the author of Let Us Always Give Thanks, and has more books to come.
