Over 100 useful, helpful, comforting and life affirming tools, tips, and stories from the trenches of breast cancer survival. Haven't you wished you could find a book that offers the newly diagnosed with breast cancer tried and true techniques for getting through their coming ordeal? Mary Olsen Kelly wished the same thing while she was undergoing treatments. Finally, after years of futile searching, she decided to write the book herself. This book is the best friend you wish you had; a friend who will take you by the hand and lead you through the confusing maze of your medical journey. Heartfelt and immediate, this book delivers personal and practical advice from and for Breast Cancer survivors, family and friends. The book was born from a few burning questions: How can I get through this? Can anyone help me on my journey through breast cancer treatments? In this guidebook, Kelly shares the results of her search, information that she voraciously gathered during the year of her medical journey with breast cancer and through the five years since.
Review
I appreciate that author Mary Olsen Kelly has produced this very useful book for patients before, during and after treatments. The tools and tips are excellent, and the stories in each chapter bring to life the situations where these tools and tips will be most needed. --A. Lindberg, Coordinator Cancer Resource Center
Reading this book is like a friendly visit from a fellow breast cancer survivor. (As though you're with) someone who s been there, knows exactly how to deal with it and it eager to share. This handy guide is full of useful advice (like which numbing cream works best before a chemotherapy injection), resources (like personal recipes for fighting nausea) and encouraging anecdotes from Kelly as well as other breast cancer patients. - --Mamm Magazine January/February 2007
Written by a breast cancer survivor, I found this book incredibly helpful and inspiring to patient's newly diagnosed with breast cancer. I read it cover to cover and found it full of great tips and helpful resources. It will be an excellent addition to the packet of materials our hospital gives to those newly diagnosed with breast cancer. --L. Carry, Director Women's Health Programs
