My Butterfly Gland

'My Butterfly Gland' is the story of Louise, who worked as a qualified social worker for 10 years before experiencing 3 recurrent miscarriages at the age of 30 in Auckland, New Zealand. Then in 2012, she was diagnosed with thyroid cancer.
This is the story of Louise, who did not know how much she wanted to be a mother, until the decision was taken away from her and how 2 years later, she found a lump the size of a golf ball in her neck.
This is Louise's story of heartbreak and loss, of grief and despair but most of all, of hope and of love. It is her fight to not only get what she wants more than anything in the world but to also be alive long enough to enjoy it.
This is her memoir.

"This is an enormously useful account for anyone who has gone through or been affected by either pregnancy loss or cancer. She has been very generous with her details and it is a compelling read, no question." Dita De Boni
