Format:Paperback
This is a superb book. It really is a "must" for anyone who is dealing with their own diagnosis of breast cancer and for their friends and family.
I found the style warm and approachable without becoming sentimental and the medical sections were dealt with thoroughly and clearly, explaining serious concepts without trivialising or "dumbing down".
The book goes way beyond breast cancer in many places. The authors talk about hoping and coping, managing in a crisis, dealing with the people around you (including an excellent section on talking to your children), strategies for when you need cheering up... all of which are relevant in everyone's life at some time.
What particularly impressed me was the combination of subjects, from the practical to the physical to the psychological. To find all these resources gathered in one place is fantastic.
A friend gave me this book to read and I'm back to buy my own copy now!

This has not been my best year. Two operations for breast cancer and not enough information. I discovered this book through Amazon .co.uk and immediately ordered it. I have found it to be such a help and actually enjoyed reading it at a time when I found it difficult to put everything together for myself.
My thanks to Val and Debbie for my new "bible".

Just finished my radiotherapy and I've read and re-read this book. It's reassuring, reliable and comprehensive - the sort of book you are always dipping in and out of. I've recently read The Secret History of a Woman Patient and I recommend this too because it complements The Breast Cancer Book. It's Janet Rhys Dent's gripping personal account of learning how to be a patient and it reads like a story that keeps you turning the pages. It too is upbeat, just like The Breast Cancer Book.

a little outdated
I bought this for a friend who is recovering from breast cancer. She found it enormously helpful in many ways, except for the medical stuff which is now out of date. Read more

Approach with Caution
I am sure this is an excellent book for many women. Sadly, I didn't find it particularly helpful. I think part of the problem is that it is a personal guide written by a wife and... Read more

Not a victim in sight!
How refreshing to find a book that simply refers to "women with breast cancer" rather than breast cancer victims, breast cancer patients or breast cancer sufferers.

An important book for all women .
The synopsis of the book above sets out the purpose of the book excellently. One could add that women with a familial history of breast cancer should read it so that they can adopt... Read more
