This story began because I was dying to live. It ends with having learned how. Shell Rowe's life took an abrupt turn when she was diagnosed with cancer aged just 20 and given a slim chance of survival. Three diagnoses later and after a stem cell donation from her brother, Shell refused to let cancer define her and found humour and a positive outlook on life even in the darkest moments. In this inspiring, honest and funny book, Shell shares the ten lessons she learned along the way, from realising that, while life doesn't always turn out the way you planned, it may work out even better, to making your own luck, giving yourself time, being brave, embracing the chaos and realising that growing old is a privilege. This is a book for anyone who has ever faced hardship, felt stuck, paralysed by doubt, judgement or endless what ifs. It will make you laugh, cry, treasure your friends and make the most of life, no matter what it throws at you.
