There are so many things I love about all your posts but wanted to say thank you for tipping me off to Ancestor Trouble: A Reckoning and a Reconciliation. I've been doing a lot of radical genealogy work and this feels in alignment with things I want to be reading. Appreciate it!

So glad you’re getting a true recovery this time. I’m celebrating how far I’ve come in the year since my breast cancer diagnosis - Lumpectomy, Chemo, Radiation, I finished active treatment in May- and will look into some of these books. I’m also currently reading Ministry of Time and loving it so far. I would absolutely read any previvor experience you share 🩷

So glad to hear that this recovery is going so much more smoothly! I wanted to recommend another book that you might find interesting -- Breasts: a natural and unnatural history by Florence Williams. You may also appreciate Living Downstream by Sandra Steingraber, which is about the environmental causes of cancer.
