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!
