She continues, “I poured my whole heart into this book and it was a four-year labor of the love and when I realized that the paperback was going to come out while I was in the bone marrow transplant unit, I knew immediately that whatever ideas I’d had of having a virtual book tour, or I wanted to do a bone marrow registry drive along with my events, were not going to happen.” Jaouad’s Cancer Journey I was so excited for this paperback to come out.” Speaking with Vogue about the paperback release amid her illness, she says, “One of the hardest things about having a life-threatening illness or some other kind of big, blinding loss is that your carefully-laid plans go up in smoke.
