Summary: Thumbs down from another feisty woman
Comment: This is NOT a book for the newly diagnosed or for anyone who is on the fence about treatment choices. While some of the author's advice regarding emotional health are good, her medical advice is one-sided and fails to recognize that medical choices are very individual choices and one size does not fit all. Her skepticism about current common practice treatments like radiation, chemotherapy and tamoxifen are not necessarily based on good science and should be taken with a large grain of salt. I would hate to think others would base their medical choices on her discussion of these potentially life-saving issues. I applaud her for having the strength to get through this and feel comfortable enough to live her life without reconstruction or prosthesis, but many women will make different choices that are equally right for them. "Just Get Me Through This" is a better book on coping with breast cancer.

Summary: Disappointed
Comment: I was given a copy of this book after my lumpectomy. This book is very one-sided and I have read several inaccuracies. It is definitely not a book for someone newly diagnosed whether she is feisty or not.

Summary: Danger! Danger! Danger!
Comment: Having been diagnosed with breast cancer in February 2000, and feeling that I too was a "Feisty Woman," I bought Elaine's book. I was quickly alarmed to find that her ideas of being "Feisty" were to challenge all medical standards and decline proven treatment. This may have been the correct decision for her (I hope that it was) but I find it unconscionable for her to suggest that other women do the same. There are too many variables and too much data that seems to have dismissed, to call her suggestions objective and well-thought out. If you must, then please: Read With Care! In the case of this book, "Feisty" could mean "Fatal."
