Worth reading and thinking about

When Jane Brody recommended this book and another, I asked my local library to order both. You won't be disappointed with the Feisty Woman. It's the sort of book you can jump around from chapter to chapter or read straight through for information. You'll want to go back later and think about how it relates to your life. Technical issues are explained intelligently. It addresses physical,mental and emotional issues as well as giving you both a male and female perspective on breast cancer, giving and receiving support from your children, family & friends as well as developing your own "voice".
