RUSSELLVILLE, AR, UNITED STATES, January 25, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ — “I’m sorry, it’s cancer.” These four words turned Agalia Baker’s world upside down and launched her into an emotional rollercoaster after her breast cancer diagnosis. In her poignant new memoir “If Cancer is a Gift, Can I Return It?” (Gracepoint, January 15, 2024), Baker candidly shares her deeply personal experience with cancer – from the devastating news, to making difficult treatment decisions, to navigating relationships and her career while coping with the life-altering impacts of the disease.
