RISE: Living Life Over Cancer

A memoir and practical guide for living with courage, hope, and purpose through cancer and uncertainty.

​

Drawing from her lived experience with recurrent stage IV breast cancer, Betty Jean Aucoin shares an integrative approach to supporting the mind, body, heart, and spirit while living alongside treatment.

"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."
