Love and laughter in the time of chemotherapy / by Pawagi, Manjusha,1967-author.;
"'April 28, 2014: I won't be coming in today, I have leukemia.' That's the message Manjusha Pawagi, a family court judge in Brampton, Ontario relayed to her office one morning after a routine blood test showed a deadly result. She did not return to work for two and a half years. Wryly funny and stubbornly hopeful, this is her quirky take on what it's like to face your own mortality when, to be honest, you thought you'd live forever. It describes how even the darkest moments of life can be made worse by roommates; details how much determination it takes to ignore the statistics; and answers the age-old question, what does it take to get a banana Popsicle when you need one?"--

May it have a happy ending : a memoir of finding my voice as my mother lost hers / by Mahtani, Minelle,1971-author.;
"For readers of Crying in H Mart and In the Dream House, a searing, intimate memoir about mothers and daughters, grief and healing, and finding your voice when you thought it lost. Keep quiet when you experience racism -- to protect yourself, and the people you love. This was the very first lesson Minelle Mahtani learned about staying silent. She was six years old. Other lessons would come in time: Take up less space. Ask fewer questions. Try harder to fit in. And from her Hindu, Indian father and Muslim, Iranian mother: Be excellent. Strive for greatness. In her forties, Minelle's left hand began to shake. Then, her left leg went numb. Her body was trying to tell her something -- screaming what she could not say. And then, in the midst of this crisis, a lifeline in the form of a job offer: the chance to speak, to develop her voice, as a radio host. If she only had the courage to try. But as Minelle took tentative steps toward finding herself, she received devastating news: her beloved mother had tongue cancer. Just as Minelle was finding her voice, her mother was losing hers. This is a story about what it means to mourn and heal. It is about the tender yet fragile relationships between mothers and daughters -- relationships weighed down by histories more complex than we can ever know. It is about the myriad ways our voices take flight as people of colour, and about how our ancestors speak to us through the intimate moments in our lives. In exquisite, lyrical prose, May It Have a Happy Ending meditates on the ways grief, race, love and self-expression intersect, and introduces an important new literary voice."--

Grown woman talk : your guide to getting and staying healthy / by Malone, Sharon,1959-author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."A practical guide to aging and health for women who have felt ignored or marginalized by the medical profession, from a leading Ob/Gyn and expert on menopausal and post-reproductive health. The medical system today is increasingly complicated and impersonal, and unfortunately, it is not going to be less so in the future. The rules of engagement have changed in medicine, but no one has bothered to inform patients. Much is written about Black women and women of color, be it our increased cancer risk, our alarming obesity statistics, or our disproportionate risk of cardiovascular diseases, but very little is written for us, and a diagnosis from Dr. Internet doesn't cut it. Talk about being sick? Dr. Sharon Malone is sick of that. Grown Woman Talk is for all women who have often not been seen or heard. For more than three decades as a practicing Ob/Gyn in the nation's capital and now as chief medical officer of Alloy Women's Health, Dr. Malone has served women across the city all the way to the upper echelons of power. In this book, she gives us the nudge we all need to become effective and efficient advocates in getting the care we deserve. Part medical memoir of the Malone family experience tracing from the Jim Crow South to the highest corridors of power in Washington, part relatable clinical scenarios of women from all walks of life and experiences, and part practical medical and logistical advice, this book is a reliable and easy-to-understand resource. In addition to information on ailments like fibroids, cancer, heart disease, and perimenopause, it also helps us navigate the medical establishment of today with advice on how to choose a doctor, why our family's health history matters, and how to decide among treatments. Combining emerging practices with the latest research the book addresses many women's greatest gap, the one between what they believe and what is actually true. With a combination of medical expertise, up-to-date science, and lived experience, Grown Woman Talk addresses the most common conditions women over forty deal with. And it helps women, especially Black women, identify the power they have and how to use it to chart a path to improve their health outcomes and thrive"--
