Being Single with Cancer: A Solo Survivor’s Guide to Life, Love, Health and Happiness

Tracy Maxwell

After being diagnosed with a rare form of ovarian cancer at the age of 36, Tracy Maxwell realized her challenges, as a single person with cancer, were not just physical and related to living alone. So much of what she dealt with was emotional, and related to feeling alone.

In Being Single, with Cancer, Tracy shares everything she learned along her solo journey from diagnosis and treatment through survivorship and life beyond cancer, including the experiences of over 100 other single survivors. Loneliness, body image, fertility problems, and dating anxiety are just a few of the concerns Tracy addresses in her guide to being single with cancer.
