Guest guest Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 Okay, I'm an avid reader, and I would like to get a good book about BC. Any recommendations? Lucinda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 Hi, I am in the middle of reading " Why I Wore Lipstick to my Mastectomy " . Its non-fiction & very good, sometimes I am think that I could of wrote that because I have felt just like that., Also one called " BOOBS " Yep, that's the name but I haven't started that one yet and of course " Chicken Soup for the Breast Cancer Soul " . The Bible is a very good read, especially " Psalms " . I have to tell you though, sometimes you just want a break from reading all about this - actually I feel it is healthy if you read something light and fun - Jan Evanovich or if you are into mysteries Higgins or a good magazine can take you away for a short while what is with us all of the time. Thank all of you who helped me in deciding to call the doctor about having a cold - I am waiting till Tuesday to see if anything more progresses and in the meantime I am taking " Airborne " Dee doloresrose.scent-team.com Once you try Mia Bella candles there will be no other!

Guest guest Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 Dee, I'm right there with you on the mysteries! My daughter finally told me (after she got married) that she was always concerned that I read so many murder books....was I planning something? LOL!!! I've used Airborn also...if you start taking it right at your first signs of a cold, it does seem to help. You may want to check with your doctor to make sure it's ok..it's all herbal stuff, and some of that isn't good when your doing chemo (from what I have read).

You know, this is good advice, advice that I " took " a couple of weeks ago when recuperating at the hospital. My story has a twist, though. A very nice gentleman from the hospital's oncology department (not the one where I am getting treatment) came to visit me. We got talking and found we had some things in common. He stopped by a couple of other times while I was there (4 days), once dressed as Santa Claus. Anyway, he happens to be an author and wrote a medical intrigue book called " Hearts of Gold. " On one 's visits he gave me an autographed copy of this book and thought I would enjoy it. Let me tell you, this book is NOT my " cup of tea, " though I read it anyway to try to train myself to get my brain back in gear and grasp ideas from sentences and paragraphs. When came as Santa I said to him, " This is a book to be read AFTER surgery. " Had I read it beforehand I might be a little more nervous as the main character, a heart surgeon, decides to kill a couple of people who got in his way by intentionally botching surgery on them. Yipes! -Frances PS I recently read " Damaged But Not Broken " by Larry Burkett --- very good book, especially for Christians. I also have read " Breast Cancer Care Book " by Sally Knox and Janet Grant. I'm reading another BC book by a Harvard doctor, and another " spiritual survival during tragedy " book --- both titles I cannot remember (chemo/surgery brain). Oh yes, I'm also reading " A Bend in the Road " by . -- -Frances Bartels *** ki0dz@...

Guest guest Posted December 30, 2006 Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 the very LAST thing I want to read about is breast cancer...honestly! This past summer, while I was getting A/C, I read every janet Evanovich book (1 through 10), [plus (I love mysteries)...I also Read Gorky Park and REd Square - RUth Rendell was a bit too much for me last summer, put I did read a few PD james... then came Taxotere, and I couldn't read at all - (my eyes felt like they were bathes in chlorine...god, I dont want to go through that again...) I'm back reading again - Ann , most recently - but goodness, I cant wait till my lashes come back (my eyes still tear, but I think that's a function of not having lashes, and not from the taxotere) I also subscribe to Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine (great short stories)... I love fiction, mysteries mostly...also espionage (Cruz , LeCarre) - oh, I also read The Constant Gardner this past summer...great book! I've also been reading Overcoming Dyslexia - my son is dyslexic, and struggles so in school (poor thing) - I have an IEP meeting on January 3, and will hopefully get the accomodations he needs so that he can learrn... peace marisa > > > I have to tell you though, sometimes you just want a break from reading all about this - actually I feel it is healthy if you read something light and fun - Jan Evanovich or if you are into mysteries Higgins or a good magazine can take you away for a short while what is with us all of the time. > You know, this is good advice, advice that I " took " a couple of > weeks ago when recuperating at the hospital.
