A mind-and-body handbook for life after cancer

Practical advice and emotional care from someone who survived from cancer


When a cancer diagnosis hits and the surgery date is set, time suddenly stops.
The next 30 days can feel like standing still in the darkest waiting room of your life.
But the author, a survivor herself—not a doctor—shows that this time can be more than fear. It can be power.

In this deeply practical and compassionate guide, she transforms those anxious weeks into a golden window of preparation.
Through honest, lived experience, she shares what truly helps: what to eat and how to move, which tests and papers to prepare, and most importantly how to steady your heart.
Instead of empty comfort or strict medical talk, the author offers warm, realistic wisdom born from walking the same path.
Her message is clear: you can’t control the diagnosis, but you can control how you meet it.
With humor and strength, this book helps readers step out of fear and into readiness, turning waiting into healing, and despair into determination.

The author worked at Korea’s largest law firm for five years before becoming a court officer to further her career.
In 2021, after completing her long-awaited one-year overseas assignment in the U.S., she was diagnosed with cancer—a moment that shook her life to its roots. To endure those dark days, she turned to writing. She later published Healing Food and Strength Training to Beat Cancer Day by Day, which sold out its first print run within two months.
