‘Whilst in the bath I lay back and take a look at my ‘bigger than I would really like’ body and focus on my chest. My G cup breasts are not difficult to miss, even with my poor eyesight, but what I see makes me sit up straight. It looks like my right nipple is ‘not on straight’.

I Felt a Right One is the true story of Karen Tighe, an ordinary woman, and her journey through discovery, diagnosis, treatment and reconstruction caused by breast cancer.
Amusing and thoughtfully written, it is particularly helpful in describing the physical, emotional and psychological processes that a patient can go through – and how that impacts upon their life, and that of their family.
Karen’s aim in writing the book was to make cancer less frightening and anyone who is either suffering from cancer, or knows someone who is, will find the book to be of great help.
