One in eight women will be diagnosed with invasive breast cancer in their lifetime. How does one handle hearing the words "You have breast cancer?"

Not All Warriors Carry Guns is a compelling story of one woman's battle to become her own warrior in life after facing a breast cancer diagnosis—not once, but twice. This is an intensely personal account based on author Melissa Kerwin O'Neil's two-time journey with breast cancer at a mere thirty years old and then only four days before her five-year remission anniversary when the cancer returned. You will discover how O'Neil displayed strength, hope, and courage; relying on her values, faith in God and her relentless passion to live.

Passionate and plainspoken, O'Neil is a true example of the importance of educating oneself on the unknowns and strong self-advocacy. She lives by a mantra of "knowledge is power." The informative facts and tips about breast cancer and the synopsis of her journey found in this must-read book will inspire, give hope, and empower those facing a life-altering diagnosis.
