I find cancer an unimaginable thing anyway. Today you see a woman in the prime of her life. She runs a half marathon and works like a madwoman, and tomorrow she walks with a bandage on her arm and next week she wears a wig.

Yet there are women for whom you can imagine it just a little bit harder. Rachel Franse is one of them. In the world of television, she is considered the absolute top among editors. A smart cookie who can offer her resistance. She pulls you through the phone and drags you into the studio. And now she suddenly had cancer. Because she has energy times a thousand, she decided to immediately write a book about it. At least she would get something out of it. And other women too. It reads like a train. A train with an occasional tear.
