reading recommendations...?

The best book about breast cancer is Love's Breast Cancer Book. Very

informative. Just a suggestion.

Hi group. My friend has finished her 2nd chemo, lost her hair in the

shower 2 days after, and is now facing #3 this Monday, with the 4th

and last coming up in January. Then she'll undergo radiation.

She seems in good spirits...at least, determined to make the best of

a bad situation and move on with life.

I've been perusing the web, and found a couple of books mentioned

that are supposed to be pretty neat...they are " graphic novels, "

meaning comic books, one called " Cancer Vixen " the other " Cancer made

me a shallow person. " You can see either/both at amazon.com or any

other large bookseller.

I am wondering if any of you have read them, or could recommend them

for my friend?

I have bought her some hats/scarves/turbans, and a bunch of her

friends gave her a " Christmas cookie tea " last week (so she doesn't

have to spend her energy baking goodies for the season)....but I'm a

bit shy about getting her a book about the breast cancer experience,

having not gone through it myself, or having read the books yet.

Thanks for any insights. My best to all of you brave souls. I

admire and respect you all so much.

You're a good friend and she should be lucky to have you...there are so many

good books out there...just chose one and I'm sure she'll love it!

Best,

I haven't read either of those books but I have gead a 'comic book " style book

called " 's Story " by Tom Batiuk. It is very good at showing the emotions.

Also " Uplift " by Barbara Delinsky is very good. It gives tips on things that can

help with radiation,etc. I personally found books to be very comforting,

especially the ones where others shared their experinences.
