Getting breast cancer marks a huge shift and diagnosis often comes at the most inconvenient time. It can temporarily put fear and disorganization on the forefront of your life, emotions and thinking. So, the first step is to take a deep breath and to center yourself. This book can help.
Dr. Paulette Kouffman Sherman, a psychologist and breast cancer survivor herself, wrote a four-book Cancer Path series to help you absorb your diagnosis, assess your treatment situation and get you through your surgery, chemotherapy and radiation in the best possible way. She shares her personal experience in the hope that you will feel less alone. She wanted to create a quick guide that would fit into your purse so you could carry it with you during hospital appointments.
