WONDERFUL

I THOUGHT THIS BOOK WAS WONDERFUL, I READ IT IN A DAY. YES THE TREATMENTS AND OPTIONS FOR WOMAN TODAY ARE 100 TIMES BETTER BUT THE FEELINGS YOU GO THROUGH ARE STILL THE SAME. SHE WRITES WITH SUCH HONESTY ABOUT EVERY ASPECT OF THE PROCESS OF TREATMENT AND PICKING UP THE PIECES ONCE YOU GET HOME. GOOD BOOK.

A milestone book

When I was a teenager I remember reading Betty Rollin's book for the first time. It had an enormous impact on me because it was really the first time anyone had ever spoken about their experience with breast cancer. Little did I know that when I was 50 years old I would also develop breast cancer. I thought about this book and tried to find it but it was out of print. I was so glad to see it back with new information. The feelings she describes are still true today but what a difference the new treatments have made.
