In the midst of her illness, Susan Sturges Hyde compiled a book of aphorisms that provide hope, laughter, and relief to any woman suffering the pangs and pains of cancer.
One of the best books I have ever read. I'm a 34 year old female who just finished treatment for lymphoma. Ms. Hyde captured my feelings and thoughts perfectly. I highly recommend this to anyone going through a battle with cancer or to any caregivers also. I wish I had found this book when I was actually having my chemo and radiation. Some of her pointers would have helped me a lot (ie. always carry a blanket with you to chemo and to hospitals).

After I read this book, I felt a new promise in helping my mother fight her battle with ovarian cancer. The book gave me insight into what my mother deals with and the little things that I can do to make her life easier. Thank you to the author for her encouraging words.
I Could Completely Relate

I thought that this book was great. I received it as a gift during my illness. As a 19 year old, battling ovarian cancer, I could relate to every part. It always made me laugh and put a smile on my face. I am now in remission and still sit down often and read the book. I always read it completely in one sitting because it is so good that I can never put it down or walk away. It puts things into perspective and helps to lighten the situation. I recommend it to everyone and am going to buy it for my friend who also has ovarian cancer. To Susan- thanks for the laughs and inspiration.
Thank you Susan for your insipration!

I'm sitting here, scratching my half-bald, half peach-fuzz head, wondering how to thank this author for pulling me through just about the worst day yet of my cancer saga. A new friend sent it to me, I opened it, started reading and didn't stop (except for when the doorbell rang and I unashamedly answered it with tears running down my face) until I finished it. I laughed, I cried, I crowed. Thank you, Susan Hyde. (Oh yes, and last night I actually did discover a natural cure for insomnia - the Linda-Monica tapes. I'm sure they'll be available in audio-book format for the general public by tomorrow...)
