The Ways of the Warrior

When you hear the word cancer what word comes to mind? I am sure “positive” wasn’t one of those words. When you learn you have a cancer diagnosis the emotions that overtake you seem unbearable, but they don’t have to be. The Ways of the Warrior is a woman’s journey of love and support, and how being positive can change your perception of chemo, surgery, and even being bald.

Written throughout her breast cancer battle, you will learn the truth about how DeAnna Whalen, a cancer survivor and appointed leader of the WhalenWarriors, managed the ups and downs of fighting the enemy. Hear in real time how she fought the enemy, most notably cancer, but also the internal demons she faced along the way. A journey she had to fight on her own but a war that she could not have won without trusting in her doctors, leaning on friends, and being honest with herself and her family.

An MBA graduate of the University of Pittsburgh, DeAnna Whalen, has spent the majority of her career as a successful marketing executive. Never expecting to become an author, DeAnna, turned to write as a mental outlet when she was first diagnosed with breast cancer. Since starting a blog, she has become a mentor to many other women who have been given a scary cancer diagnosis. DeAnna currently resides in FL with her husband Larry and sons, Conor and Pearse.
