About this ebook
Mary embraced a new approach to life: to accept all the joy and sorrow, safety and danger, certainty and unpredictability...in essence, to live freely. In our uncertain times, when it's difficult not to feel the fear, Dr Mary Gunn's remarkable memoir offers mindfulness tools for resilience, and shows how we can all use acceptance, compassion and love to live courageously, magnificently.
Backed up by many years of experience as both a doctor and a patient, her story will inspire you to let go of fear, love life and live well.
Mary Gunn
Mary Gunn is a doctor, mother, grandmother and wife who has lived with cancer for almost 25 years. She has worked in paediatric oncology (childhood cancer), as a hospital doctor in poverty-stricken Malawi and as a rural GP in Britain. At the age of 44, Mary was diagnosed with aggressive breast cancer and received full conventional treatment. After a remission of 13 years, seeing her children grow to young adulthood, she developed a major recurrence and opted for “gentle” treatment only. Ten years later, long beyond her prognosis, she is still active and has learned to overcome her fears to embrace a full and often joyful life in spite of her illness.
