The author manages to provide valuable information, but with some great entertainment. It's hard to imagine that a book on this topic could be funny, but her outstanding wit had me laughing out loud. When you're diagnosed with breast cancer, you find yourself bombarded with information from all sources and it can get overwhelming, and sometimes depressing. This book really helps you to learn everything about the condition, but helps keep your spirits up in the process. If you hve a sense of humor you'll love it. Outstanding! I'd love to meet the author.
