Summary: Living in fear after a breast cancer diagnosis? Read this!
Comment: Living a life without fear after a breast cancer diagnosis eludes many of us. Now we have some answers to the questions that may plague us. Musa Mayer gives us facts, figures and suggestions for living lives less tainted with anxiety.

She has beautifully written another important book and I am highly recommending it to all those who have been touched by breast cancer.

Summary: After Breast Cancer: Answers to the Questions You're Afraid
Comment: Relief. Laughter. Tears. A knowing nod. A chill. I devoured this book, hungrily,as I read my sister's stories. As a breast cancer survivor, I was told repeatedly by my care providers "not to worry"... "you have beat this"... "walk away now"... "close this chapter of the book"... "move on"... But how do we do that when the fact remains that almost half of all women diagnosed with Invasive Ductal Carcinoma (IDC), as I was, eventually die of the disease? I felt misunderstood... made to feel a bit of the hypochondriac, as I visited my oncologist with each back pain... each unrelenting headache... each persistant cough? WHEN WILL I FINALLY STOP LOOKING OVER MY SHOULDER? And then I read this book. Musa Mayer writes from her own experience as a breast cancer survivor, using her skills as a therapist and as a patient advocate. I finally feel like someone understands. She writes brilliantly, with clarity of vision and a spirited, confident heart. She reveals the experiences of many, MANY women who share my fears, without diminishing my own. She understands, yes... yet the book's greatest gift is the knowledge that I am not alone.

Summary: A must-read after a breast cancer diagnosis
Comment: I purchased, After Breast Cancer: Answers to the Questions You're Afraid to Ask, for a friend of mine who was diagnosed with primary breast cancer two years ago. Before giving my friend the book, I read it, so I would not be suggesting a book that might "scare" her. Having metastatic breast cancer myself, I found myself wishing I would have had such a resource after my initial diagnosis. The book is extremely well-written and addresses all of the key issues of dealing with a breast cancer diagnosis. It's educational and offers the patient a "take-charge" mentality of a breast cancer diganosis. This book is a "must read" for women (and men) who are dealing with or have dealt with breast cancer.
