I found this book to be just the inspiration I needed after my own battle with cancer. I actually purchased two new copies as gifts, one for my father and one for a dear friend of mine, each recovering from their own cancers.
The book has many helpful suggestions; such as how to answer the questions of strangers, coworkers and loved ones; advice on dealing with issues such as infertility, anger, depression, body-image, self esteem, employment, insurance and, anxiety about new relationships.
Overall, this book reminds us all that we are not alone in our struggles and offers some comfort, advice and, the best medicine of all - a few laughs.
