This Is The Book They Should Give You When You Are Given Your Diagnosis!

Thank you, Mrs. Thompson, for this book. It is exactly the tool a woman needs when facing breast cancer. I am a 35 year old mother of three, with a wonderful husband and family. I wasn't supposed to have breast cancer. But I do. This book has been such a comfort and a source of information to me. I shared it with my mother, who read it during my first surgery, and it brought a sense of peace to her as well. I now own multiple copies, and offer them as gifts to other women I encounter on this same journey. I wish they gave you this book in the doctor's office when they gave you the diagnosis. It has been the most valuable source of information and comfort after my Bible.

A must-read for any one searching for reasons to hope

Janet Thompson bravely soldiered through this deeply personal experience and now openly shares her journey with others who need to know what to expect and how to get through a season of life they neither invited nor wanted. This book offers practical advice, encouragement, and hope for anyone with a life-threatening illness.

The perfect gift!

I recently got my first book and couldn't put it down....I prompltly gave it to my neighbor that has cancer and quickly ordered several more so I would have them on hand to pass on. This book is for anyone going through the pain and disappointment of any kind of cancer....finally a help for anyone to know they are not alone. It is very thorough and well put together. I highly recommend it for healing and better health!

GREAT for any patient or survivor!

This is the book I wished for when I went through breast cancer treatment four years ago. It's a guide for the physical and, more important, spiritual aspects of breast cancer.

A MUST read

As a Nurse Practitioner/Certified Nurse-Midwife, I see many women who are on the breast cancer journey without answers to questions they don't even know. Having been there herself, Janet walks this journey with you - whether you are the patient, Mom, sister, husband or friend. Not only does she offer practical guidelines, but the reader becomes acutely aware of God's presence which lends to the peace that only He can give. This is a must read for every person, male or female who either has breast cancer or knows someone who does. I recommend it to all my patients. P. Evans, NP, CNM
