This book is a must read for anyone with breast cancer. It is very informative and insightful for the patient and caregivers (friends, family, etc). It provides important and useful information. The way in which the authors write about this information is in a very relaxed and comfortable setting; almost as though they are having a conversation with you and just sharing their experiences. Being a recently diagnosed breast cancer patient myself I found this book extremely helpful. I wish this book was availble when I began my treatments, it would have answered many questions for me. Thank you to the authors for being so honest.

JUST a LUMP IN THE ROAD ...: Reflections of young breast cancer survivors

This book is factual and real, I imagine all those reading it would connect with one or more women directly in the various stories.
Be you single women, moms or career people this book offers life slices of admirable women who give hope to those facing breast cancer. Be not afraid! Thanks girlfriends!

Amazing book, amazing women! Ths book is a must have for anyone beginning this scary journey, as well as anyone traveling with them. These women share valuable information, insight and hindsight that only survivors can provide. Each "sister" tells her own experience with style and honesty. You may relate to one more than the other, but you will love them all. I laughed, I cried, I cheered.

This book is not just for the person who has cancer but for those dealing with a loved one who has it. I bought this book for my mother who was having a rough time facing the fact. Not only did it help her feel ( and Look) so much better but after reading it myself I feel so much better about it. If cancer is affecting your life in any way i say BUY THIS BOOK.

This book is a great resource, written by real people. It's nice to have a roadmap of other people's experiences who have gone through the same thing you are going through. This book should be on the best seller's list for anyone going through breast cancer, especially young women who are the newest face of this disease.

As a new breast cancer survivor (March 2007 diagnosis), I found this book inspirational! I found comfort and support from the women in the book...like my own support group. At each stage of my journey, I can flip to the corresponding section to give me advice. I am thankful for these strong survivors who shared their stories!

What a truly unique book this is. It provides a wealth of information for everyone who is touched by breast cancer: those affected, their families, friends and caregivers. Information is provided clearly and concisely -- but is not overwhelming or over "technical". The women who wrote this book, giving so freely and unselfishly of themselves, are well on their way to helping countless others. We should all take a lesson from their honesty, bravery and perserverence. Take the time to read this book -- and pass it on to all those you know it will help.

This book is an incredible resource for young women with breast cancer. Not only does it document these women's journey in a frank and insightful way, this book provides tips, strategies, and personal experience to make this difficult time a little easier.
It is divided into clear sections, as not to overwhelm anyone reading it...read just the needed section at a time. The authors also included important information from leading doctors in the field.
Also, it is so nice to see the pictures of these young women, so beautiful and healthy, throughout the book.
I think this book will help and guide so many women on their path to wellness.

Working in an oncology office, I recently met a patient diagnosed with breast cancer, who "inspired" me to learn more. I immediately logged on and found this book, in hopes of reading it, and then passing along to several of our patients diagnosed with breast cancer. I read it in one night and found it to be very helpful, not only to the patient,but for me as someone who works with these women daily-an "on-looker". The experiences shared are universal, and tend to "normalize" the fears that many of our patients have shared with me. The fears are justified- and although a traumatic diagnosis, this book certainly offers support and compassion through it's stories.
