Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
I started reading this book as I left the surgeons office and my fears started to go away too. This book is a must if you have breast cancer. It will take you step by step through what's next to what we should be asking the doctors. But more importantly, it will and does bring back the hope. Written by a professional who understands we all get scared! I have a copy to give my family doctor. Why? So the next women who is waiting to see the surgeon can read and feel the hope and help that is out there for us all.
Answered all my questions.

I found this book incredibly helpful. During the most trying time of my life, any questions I had in the middle of the night were answered by using this book. I think every woman who has been diagnosed with breast cancer and her family should own this book.
Lots of Information
