Survival, sport, and life after illness

Donna Hopkins’s account connects her life as a competitive athlete and broadcaster with two diagnoses of breast cancer and the later experience of becoming an amputee. The book traces a journey through serious health challenges toward survival and life as a thriving amputee, while extending its idea of victory beyond individual achievement to include supporting others. Its subject matter brings disability sports, cancer survivorship, and personal perseverance into a single autobiographical narrative.

Book overview

 

Donna J. Hopkins was the picture of health. As a competitive athlete, with a growing broadcasting career, life truly felt good. After a monthly self-Breast exam revealed a lump, her hopes and dreams were covered with the thick fog of pending survival, as the loneliness of "why me" began to take its toll.

As if the road to survival was not enough the first time, Donna was not only diagnosed with breast cancer a second time, but years later finds herself literally in a fight for her life. Getting to the Other Side of Victory is not only a tale of battles, but a story of triumph. Come along as Donna walks you through the miraculous journey towards becoming a two-time breast cancer survivor and thriving amputee, who teaches us how to not only win for ourselves but also for others.
