Book Reviews of I Am Not My Breast Cancer: Women Talk Openly About Love and Sex, Hair Loss and Weight Gain, Mothers and Daughters, and Being a Woman with Breast Cancer
Book Review: Want to know how the women who've had it feel?
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this book, along with four others, because I am writing a novel in which my character learns that she has breast cancer. I really wanted to know what she would be going through, and not just the medical side of it, but the emotional, the physical, the sexual and the psychological. It's all here and it comes directly from the women who experienced it. This is really a gem. I do not have breast cancer, thankfully, and I really hope I never have to endure these things that I've read about, however these women really shine in their honesty and their courage. I was shocked to learn how much they have to go through. They don't tell us these things. I had no idea that chemotherapy caused premature menopause. I knew it caused nausea, fatigue and hair loss but all of the other multitudes of difficulty, I just had no idea. Regardless if you have cancer or not, this book is something all women should read. I highly recommend it.
