Customer Reviews

Thank you!

Thank you Nancy for writing this book! You are amazing. I have just completed breast cancer treatment, and have been inspired to train for my first triathlon. You can check out my blog about life after cancer and triathlon training at [...] We need more women writing and talking about life affected by cancer!

Chemosabee

I bought this book for a friend going through breast cancer, chemo, surgeries and all the rest of the garbage associated with breast cancer. I bought it on the recommendation of another friend with chronic leukemia who said, "when you first find out you want to know all that you can know about your condition". She was right. The book was much appreciated by friend, its frankness and the authors vulnerabilit and transparency helped meet her needs as she faced/faces her own journey. I'm glad I gave it.

Just what I was looking for

I am a triathlete and cancer survivor. During my journey I was searching for other triathletes with breast cancer. So many decisions to make and all the time wanting to return to the sport. This book offered a very honest description of Nancy's journey. The photos and descriptions of surgeries and reconstruction were very helpful. Anyone that trains for any sport and has been diagnosed with breast cancer needs this book. You will not find this information anywhere else.

A wonderful book

This is a wonderful book. The author walks the reader through her experience with courage, humor and honesty that is inspiring. The book helps to de-mystify and educate about many aspects of cancer treatment and about coping along the way.
