Reviews
""Resilience in the face of adversity is the journey Dwalah Fisher takes you on in Coached by Cancer. You will laugh and cry as you travel through the book with Dwalah as she copes with the preserving over her greatest challenge, cancer. However, it's the vulnerability revealed in chapter four which awakens the soul of anyone struggling with walking through faith while facing insurmountable challenges. Yet, support is provided in chapters 5, 6, &7 when the educator appears, and Dr. Fisher provides a lecture on medical facts and provides resources to educate the reader. Although, my favorite chapters are 12. Grateful, Grateful, Grateful-Favor Ain't Fair and 13. Love Forward. It's in those chapters that we celebrate her journey, find inspiration to overcome our personal trials, and are motivated to re-define adversity as a will to overcome. I highly recommend this book, not just because Dr. Fisher is my mentor, but because this book provides hope, strength, and guidance. It's through her words that you will find your strength, determination, and peace. It's an awe-inspiring read."" Dr. Courtney Flowers, Professor Texas Southern University ""Coached by Cancer is a moving and insightful memoir that captures the raw, unspoken emotions experienced by Dr. Dwalah Fisher as she goes through the fight of her life. This book shares Dwalah's personal journey emphasizing the power of faith even when the path ahead seems uncertain. What sets this book apart is its ability to resonate deeply with women navigating their own cancer battles, offering not just inspiration but a sense of solidarity and sisterhood. Dwalah's vulnerability, strength, and perseverance make this memoir a must-read for anyone seeking understanding, hope, and a comforting reminder that no one fights cancer alone. Whether you're a survivor or currently facing the diagnosis, Coached by Cancer is a powerful testament to the resilience of all Black women. Dr. Brittny R. Bratcher-Rasmus, PhD, CHES(R)
