A Tango with Cancer, by Apryl Allen, is Apryl Allen’s memoir regarding the challenges people who are diagnosed with cancer, or any illness, are forced to face while searching for a way to recovery.
Apryl Allen is an a award-winning musician, singer, songwriter, playwright, and a former Miss Arizona who had her life altered when she was diagnosed with breast cancer.
Apryl Allen’s battle with the disease and her battle with healthcare and healing is chronicled in A Tango with Cancer. This book tells her story with complete truth and a passion in the hope of helping the next patient facing this harrowing path. “Music played an essential part in my healing process,” says Allen, author of My Tango with Cancer. “It reduces stress, and for many, it can help with side effects of cancer therapy. We all feel a strong connection with music, and during such a difficult time, that connection can help us through.”
“This is not about survival or changing your lifestyle. It’s about how we as patients are treated by healthcare,” says Allen.
A Tango with Cancer examines the challenging reality of illness and the healing power of compassion.
