To niezwykłe jak czasem jedna osoba może w całkiem niezaplanowany sposób zrobić dużo dobrego. Now in English gastric cancer patients survival book from Poland is available. Anita Wojtaś-Jakubowska you are our true ambassador and star.
I didn’t plan on doing this—but I did it anyway (like so many things in life). My autobiographical book about stomach cancer is now available in English! This journey happened thanks to a series of small, seemingly insignificant events. First, a few weeks ago, Iga, a President of Fundacja EuropaColon Polska, invited me to the first-ever international conference on early-age onset digestive cancer organized by Digestive Cancers Europe. Then, I recalled a conversation with Diana two years ago, who encouraged me to release an English version of my story. Later, while googling stuff, I stumbled upon a quote from Sándor Márai, my book’s motto, in English, and suddenly, it clicked! With some research, I found the most wonderful translator in the world (Ewelina, thank you—it was such a joy to work with you!). She connected me with an American editor (Courtney, I’m so grateful for your contribution!), and the process took off quickly. With each sentence I read, I felt that someone was not only translating my words but also capturing my spirit and emotions from every page. After that, things moved fast: I finalized the layout, redesigned the cover, and launched a new website. How did it turn out? See for yourself! My book, "There Is No Tomorrow: How Stomach Cancer Saved My Life," is available on Amazon in paperback and ebook format at https://lnkd.in/dKzwYUfs. Now, I can finally say it: if you know anyone—ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD—facing illness, supporting a loved one through it, or simply standing at a crossroads, I’d be more than grateful if you recommend my book to them. And you know what? Sometimes, it’s good to go with the flow. And even better to act rather than to overthink. #cancer #gastriccancer #selfpublishing #notestoself #book #bookauthor
