Thriving AFTER Breast Cancer

This book was highly recomended, and since I am having my last surgery for Breast Cancer recovery I found that this book had many of the things that I will need to recover from this surgery. Very well rounded book for life after all the surgeries and treatments. stepaheda

I am the Author

This book also addresses exercises and information for those with Lymphedema. However when you go to Google, Yahoo.com or any search engine.......this book does not come up when you type in Lymphedema. It does come up for a lot of other needs like cancer, exercise, health, disease, fitness, etc which is also what the book has in the way of exercise and information, but perhaps people with Lymphedema are missing out by not including the connection to Lymphedema as well.Thank you for your time.

A Life-Saver for Body and Spirit!

Upbeat, inspiring, innovative, medically sound, and therapeutic in the broadest, most uplifting sense! I was privileged recently to have been present at a Book Signing attended also by many women who had been members of the Focus on Healing Classes, some of them for a long time period. You have never seen such a vibrantly beautiful collection of "winners" gathered in one spot to celebrate the joys of participating in the program described. Sherry herself is Positive Force personified, and her cup-half-full take on life shines through every page of the book, as it describes her wonderful program. An absolute must-have for anyone whose life has been touched by breast cancer. Buy it!

Thriving!

Thriving After Breast Cancer is a revelation to breast cancer survivors. The models used are all survivors, all ages and shapes, and all beautiful, even with compression sleeves on! Sherry Lebed Davis has done a wonderful service for survivors by bring out this book of easy and accessible exercises for women who are going through an extremely difficult time. It is good to see the light at the end of the tunnel and to know that you can come out healthy, vibrant and alive! I highly recommend this book to breast cancer survivors (thrivers!) no matter how long ago they had surgery. The chapter on lymphedema, alone, is worth the price of the book.
