Recovering from Breast Surgery: Exercises to Strengthen Your Body and Relieve Pain

This book told me so much more than all of my doctors put together, and in a very concise, practical, and friendly way. I plan to give it to all of my friends with recent breast cancer and to give some copies to my surgeon to give to other patients.

This is a practical book, in that it gives one step- by-step instructions on moving physically through surgery and recovery from breast cancer. In addition, it is clear that the author cares deeply about her patients, indeed all breast cancer patients, and wants to communicate to them ways to get past the shock of this illness, both physical and emotional. I would wish that every doctor would give it to every breast cancer patient before her treatment. Kudos to this compassionate, energetic author.
