When It Happens to You,
By Kathleen Mahurin-Volk (Hardwick, Vermont) - See all my reviews
This review is from: When It Happens to You: A Practical Guide Through Breast Cancer (Paperback)
This book offers lots of helpful information for recently diagnosed cancer patients, family and friends. As a friend of a breast cancer patient, this book helped me understand what she was going through by reading the journal writing of both authors who are breast cancer survivors. Besides the medical information there were many checklists, i.e. shopping lists, what friends can do to help, ways to relax, etc. that were invaluable.

Practical Help,
By A Customer
This review is from: When It Happens to You: A Practical Guide Through Breast Cancer (Paperback)
This compassionate book is short but full of tips on how to make it through breast cancer treatment. It is packed with information but also brief sections on the personal experiences of the authors. A must for those in treatment and for their friends and families.
