5.0 out of 5 stars If you choose only one Breast Cancer Book..., September 4, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: A Breast Cancer Journey: Your Personal Guidebook (Paperback)
There are many good breast cancer books out there, and a couple of excellent ones. This book is outstanding, because it is able to include all the necessary medical information, while including all the other information that you need to take care of your life. I am more than my breasts, and more than my breast cancer!

This book includes the latest treatment guidelines for breast cancer, goes over the practical issues issues of work, insurance, and money, assembling a support team, coping with side effects, and going through the entire process. The medical information is clear, to the point, and well-written. It is the equal of any other book.

This is the only book which had quotes from survivors throughout the book, and the only book which has a thorough discussion of how to manage your everyday life while you go through treatment. No other book so frankly discusses what you can do to raise money to get through treatment, and what difficulties you may face at work or at home.

This book has only two flaws - it is a large book, and gets hard to haul everywhere (No heavier than Susan Love's book,though, and a much better book!) The second flaw is that there are pages that are recommended for copying. These pages are scattered throughout the book, and would be best assembled in an appendix or a separate workbook.
