“No one wants to die, especially at a young age."

Soraya Chung's world stops and slowly shatters when she finds out she has breast cancer at the age of 37. Cancer breaks not only a person's body but the heart too. In this very intimate and authentic memoir, Soraya openly shares the roller-coaster of dealing and surviving breast cancer, from diagnosis to treatment to surgery, while balancing her life roles as a working wife and a mother amidst the global pandemic.

Even though Soraya accepted her fate and the harsh truth, she still went through fear, pain, and anxiety. But it is through life's obstacles and God's guidance and mercy that Soraya gathers her spirits that she never knew she had, and this provides her with the hope that she so desperately seeks.

Battle Scars of Hope is her way of passing on the baton to the other breast cancer warriors in Brunei to ensure that their light will remain ignited, believing they will rise from the same battle, leaving nothing but scars of hope.
