Imagine hearing these words: “Make no mistake: without treatment, this is fatal.” Katy Bowser Hutson heard this message from her oncologist who made it clear that without aggressive treatment, Katy would die. She did not hear any optimism in her doctor’s voice. Katy’s diagnosis was inflammatory breast disease, and it was relentless in attempting to take over her body. In this conversation, Sharon Betters, herself a breast cancer survivor, talks with Katy about her journey, how writing poetry helped her express her deepest fears, and how seeing her feelings and emotions take shape on paper gave them less control. 

You don’t have to be a breast cancer warrior woman to be encouraged and challenged by Katy’s perspective and beautiful expression of her journey through poetry. She captures her breast cancer perspective in the title of her book, Now I Lay Myself Down to Fight. Every woman facing a diagnosis of breast cancer will resonate with Katy’s battle cry.

Katy Hutson is the author of Now I Lay Myself Down to Fight.
