Geralyn Lucas was only 27 when she was diagnosed with breast cancer. Shaking the foundations of her world, she was faced with the harrowing decision of whether or not to undergo a mastectomy. She shares her incredible journey in her memoir, Why I Wore Lipstick: To My Mastectomy.
Having been diagnosed at an early age, Lucas thought it was important to share her story with others to help dispel the myth that breast cancer discriminates by age. Filled with courage, humour, and inspirational candour, Why I Wore Lipstick: To My Mastectomy details Lucas’ internal struggle and soul searching to rediscover her "inner cleavage" after losing a key female-defining characteristic and feel sexy and whole once again.
