Tools and Tips from the Trenches
November 28, 2006

The one thing that everyone agrees on is that the earlier you
know you have breast cancer, the better your chances of fighting it.
The good news is that although more people are getting breast cancer,
the survival ratio is higher than ever. Breast cancer is not a death
sentence, but it sure is a wake up call.
Helpful,
soothing, personal advice and stories from other breast cancer
survivors - that's what I wanted when I was going through my nine
months of medical treatments for breast cancer. I bought books,
searched the web, read countless articles, but I couldn't find the kind
of down-to-earth, woman-to-woman information that I needed, except at
my breast cancer support groups.
Wouldn't it be nice...
If, when you are told you have cancer, you are sitting in a lovely
comfortable room, beautifully decorated with soft lights. The counselor
who delivers the news is trained in dealing with the emotional response
of the patient, and she or he is also equipped with a copy of the full
pathology report and can answer any and all questions that you have.
You are assured that you have a great chance of surviving and thriving.
This
is an exerpt from the book, "Tools and Tips from the Trenches Breast
Cancer," written by Mary Olsen Kelly and published by Books Beyond
Borders LLC.
