RISE: Living Life Over Cancer

RISE: Living Life Over Cancer is part memoir, part practical wellness guide. It explores how to live fully while facing cancer and uncertainty through resilience, self-care, mindfulness, movement, nourishment, relationships, self-advocacy, hope, and purpose.

​

Drawing from Betty Jean Aucoin’s lived experience with recurrent stage IV metastatic breast cancer, RISE offers an honest perspective on living alongside ongoing treatment while continuing to pursue wellness, connection, purpose, and joy.

​

​RISE is written for people living with cancer, survivors, caregivers, family members, healthcare professionals, and anyone navigating uncertainty or life-changing adversity.

"It felt less like reading a memoir and more like sitting across the table with someone who genuinely wanted to help."

RISE is also available through many public libraries. If your local library doesn't have a copy, ask if they can bring one in for you. I believe everyone should have access to hope, regardless of their budget.

"Healing begins the moment we choose hope."

Voices of Hope: Reader Reflections on RISE.

"I am thankful for Betty Jean's inspiring and encouraging words. Her book gives inspiration and hope to others given a diagnosis of breast cancer. It's a must-read. Each chapter helped me successfully get through my new diagnosis of metastatic breast cancer and the stressors that go with that diagnosis. Betty Jean’s account of the ups and downs of her diagnosis and treatment, her resilience and survivorship, and her humour are invaluable to me and my journey."
