‘Whilst in the bath I lay back and take a look at my ‘bigger than I would really like’ body and focus on my chest. My G cup breasts are not difficult to miss, even with my poor eyesight, but what I see makes me sit up straight. It looks like my right nipple is ‘not on straight’. I put my glasses on and have a really good look, then start to gently feel my whole right breast. I feel the left one for good measure and can definitely detect a lump on the right side...’ I Felt a Right One is the true story of Karen Tighe, an ordinary woman, and her journey through discovery, diagnosis, treatment and reconstruction caused by breast cancer. Amusing and thoughtfully written, it is particularly helpful in describing the physical, emotional and psychological processes that a patient can go through – and how that impacts upon their life, and that of their family. Karen’s aim in writing the book was to make cancer less frightening and anyone who is either suffering from cancer, or knows someone who is, will find the book to be of great help. Karen Tighe is donating the profits from I Felt a Right One to St Luke’s Hospice and Breast Cancer Care.
