This review is from: Straight Talk About Breast Cancer: From Diagnosis to Recovery : A Guide for the Entire Family (Paperback)
dr. braddock was able to utilize her own experiences of battling (and surviving!) this disease to help others in a similar situation. she saw a need for a simple, easy to understand text to inform and inspire both those living with breast cancer and their loved ones. as a woman (and as her daughter) i am so proud to see someone turning her own life experience into such a positive and constructive resource.

This review is from: Straight Talk About Breast Cancer: From Diagnosis to Recovery : A Guide for the Entire Family (Paperback)
this book has been the most satisfying effort of my life - we update its content every year or so as new information come out, and that last update was just accomplished. Over 30,000 copies have been sold throughout the country, and we hear from so many women whom it has helped cope with the diagnosis. Thank you, all of you. Wishing you peace and joy.
