Breastlessness - What To Do When You Don't Know What To Do
ISBN: 0977861201
Precisely Write Publishing. 2006
This unique book provides a two-prong approach to breast cancer. Part One chronicles one woman's personal journey after a breast cancer diagnosis, and provides valuable information to those who are traveling or have not yet traveled this road. It addresses body image, self-esteem, intimacy, rejection and accceptance, fear, life and death, family bonds, and the power of faith and prayer. Part Two is a complete one-stop resource guide that includes everything a woman needs to know in order to make informed decisions about her health. It addresses everything from dispelling the myths to knowing employment and patients rights. There's even a chapter dedicated to men who are coping in silence (as a caregiver or sufferer) with this disease.
