A Tango with Cancer - Allen Apryl
- My Perilous Dance with Healthcare & Healing
“The fight against cancer isn’t necessarily limited to eradicating it from your body; too often it continues with the very system that’s supposed to heal us.”
— Apryl Allen
Apryl Allen was desperate to learn what her future would hold after a diagnosis of breast cancer. What she didn’t anticipate was an underlying factor no one talked about . . . healthcare.
Depicting the poignant complexities patients encounter, Apryl takes us deep into the realities of the human side of the disease: the nerve-wracking undertakings of her quest to find multiple health specialists through the aftermath of medical bills.
A Tango with Cancer reminds us compassion is a vital element to the healing process. It also reveals how, in today’s medical world, many health professionals have abandoned the practice of altruism.
