Synopsis

In this book, I narrate my story, my experience facing one of the greatest battles in my life: the diagnosis which gives an account of a deadly disease. I had to stop, cease any plans, ask for help, and let myself be embraced; in other words, open up to the hope of getting better and recuperating what I had up to now. I didn’t do it alone, I achieved it with the support of my family, of my friends, and of a community around me that I didn’t know. The presence of modern medicine did its part, but I did mine, with faith and the certainty that everything would pass in a positive manner. This is how I faced an illness that left me, above all and in spite of everything, great lessons: breast cancer.

La frase principal "Y todo por una bolita" está escrita en letras negras grandes y estilizadas, con una fuente elegante y clara.  La palabra “bolita” llama especialmente la atención:  La letra “o” es sustituida por un círculo rosa sólido, lo que visualmente representa una “bolita” o protuberancia.  Este círculo funciona como un símbolo directo del tema del libro: un nódulo mamario, que puede ser indicio de cáncer.  Justo debajo, en letras más pequeñas, se encuentra el subtítulo “Mi historia frente al cáncer de mama” en color negro.  Y aún más abajo, aparece el nombre de la autora en color rosa intenso, manteniendo la relación visual con la temática de salud femenina.
