Brenda Elsagher is living proof that if you're determined (a feisty attitude is a bonus) and armed with a brutal sense of humor, the spirit of a fighter won't be defeated. And Brenda is a fighter. Diagnosed with colorectal cancer in 1995, she shares in If The Battle Is Over, Why Am I Still In Uniform? her private war with a deadly enemy; one she was determined to beat. After reading this book I will never think about my colon, or any other body part for that matter, in the same way again. I learned that screening for colorectal cancer is important, because if caught early enough, it can be cured. If The Battle Is Over, Why Am I Still In Uniform? is filled with wit, wisdom, and the stark realities of cancer. I laughed often and my eyes misted more than once. It is a well-written book of one woman's cancer reality. It is also the story of that woman's determination to grow old with her husband and meet her grandchildren.

This book will provide you with information that might just save your life. If you know someone with colorectal cancer, sharing this book with them will let them know that they're not fighting the battle alone.

Also, if you know someone (maybe you) who is long overdue for their colon screening, this book will encourage them with reality. Get your doctor's number handy and call now!

Comic, business owner, and professional speaker, Brenda Elsagher, weaves in her humor as she takes you on a powerful ride of emotions with her story of dealing with the physical and emotional aspects of cancer. She takes the taboo subject of colon cancer and educates the reader about everyday life as an ostomate. The anecdotes she sprinkles in will produce a range of reactions from subtle tears to belly laughter.
