in Breast Cancer #1
Just want to reccommend a book entitle "Uplift" to all. Mine was a gift but I found it on Amazon and purchased a couple copies for our local breast care alliance library. It is full of good comments, suggestions, and info from others who have gone down this road and was compiled by a someone who survived breast cancer herself. There's also a website where you can post your own experiences and possibly help someone else out. This is where I found suggestions on coping with radiation etc.

    This book was given to me
    This book was given to me from a friend a few months back when I was first diagnosed with my breast cancer. I must admit after reading it I felt better about the choices I've had to make these past few months. Although nobody can tell you the correct path you should follow, through the voices of all the breast cancer survivors whom have contributed to this book you end up with a feeling of what's best for you. I definitely recommend this book as well, and I have purchased it for two other women whom are going down this journey right along with me with their own breast cancer diagnosis.

    not a cover to cover read
    This book is probably not a cover to cover read like a good novel. (I could suggest a couple of those too!) It is a great a little at a time read and is broken down into sections by topic such as chemo, radiation, etc. I found myself reading a little bit each day and then going back to sections as I needed to refresh my chemo brain. I have passed it on to several others as well.
