The author manages to provide valuable information, but with some great entertainment. It's hard to imagine that a book on this topic could be funny, but her outstanding wit had me laughing out loud. When you're diagnosed with breast cancer, you find yourself bombarded with information from all sources and it can get overwhelming, and sometimes depressing. This book really helps you to learn everything about the condition, but helps keep your spirits up in the process. If you hve a sense of humor you'll love it. Outstanding! I'd love to meet the author.

Jami Bernard provides the reader with humor and personal experience throughout her cancer treatment journey in this book. As a recently diagnosed patient, I wanted to learn more about my new unchosen journey. Jami detailed what to expect during every step of the treatment process and provided helpful hints for dealing with not only the physical but the mental side effects from the initial diagnosis to surgery to treatment. I have read many books since my diagnosis and found this book to be the most helpful and insightful. Thank you Jami!

I felt that taking 10 days to get here was exessive. Book was ok, didnt realize it was printed in 1997, but that was my fault.

I loved Jami's book! After being diagnosed with breast cancer in 2010 I was overwhelmed with all the information out there - most of which was pretty depressing and scary. While Jami discusses the hard truths about chemo and radiation (I've yet to experience them), she does it was great humor so that the information is much easier to absorb. She has very helpful tips and really gets to the heart of the matter. I would highly recommend purchasing her book. I really identified with Jami's approach. I am a Life Coach going through this journey myself and am also trying to bring a little levity to a very difficult situation. Bravo!

Jami's book was published AFTER I needed it. I read it a few years after my breast cancer diagnosis. It would have been very helpful to me in the months right after diagnosis, that are so terrifying. It is a lifesaving, life-enhancing read.
