Exceptionally helpful!

This is the only survivorship manual especially written for African American women recovering from breast cancer. It recognizes that there is no such thing as getting "back to normal" once active treatment ends. Your life is changed forever once breast cancer is in the picture. This book has tangible and specific tools for healing and self-care that are invaluable for ALL women--not just African Americans. It includes: recipes for cancer-fighting nutrition; tips for dealing with lymphedema; suggestions for how to make your physical environment more comfortable as you're healing; insights on relationships and regaining intimacy after surgery; information on finances and work; and how to live a wellness lifestyle. WHOLE is an acronym for "Women Healing Ourselves with Loving Energy," and this book give you specific guidance and support for showing yourself some love. It is an easy read, a powerful tool, and an invaluable gift.
