I have purchased 9 books since I was diagnosed with breast cancer. This one book covered it all and is now my bible. Excellent read and so informative while touching the emotional issues that go with the challenges of BC. Must have for anyone diagnosed.
Rating: 5 / 5
I found this book extremely helpful and helped me understand what was happening with me and my breast cancer. It also explains other treatments, how to deal with other people and their reaction to my cancer, and understand my friend’s cancers. Highly recommend for anyone who is dealing with this diaease!

My sister just finished chemo and radiation for stage 3c breast cancer and this book, she says, is the best book she’s read on the subject. Not all sunshine and roses, or something that is just too depressing for words. But like hearing from a good friend who is relating the same struggles that you are now going through.
Rating: 5 / 5
For anyone who is facing or has faced the Breast Cancer challenge directly or indirectly … or if you just want a window into the lives of others facing this challenge … this book will help show the the way in and the way out. Simply, personally, clearly and gently shares the stories of many, and provides direction to the choices and paths available.
We are lucky for life of Hester Hill Schnipper, her choice to reach out to so many and for those that have shared with and through her!

I received my book today and had to sit down and start reading it immediately. As a breast cancer survivor of 4 years, I could not wait to read Hester’s observations. I wish I had had Hester’s valuable insight into the issues that arise as treatment finally ends, and we are faced with picking up all the pieces, earlier in my recovery. Hester has absolutley hit the nail on the head. Even though I was diagnosed 4 years ago, I consider myself still recovering, so I guess it is never too late to come to grips with some issues. Thanks to Hester for bringing these things out and helping with solutions.
If you or a friend are facing these issues, think of this book as a gift to yourself.
