Straight from the Heart: Letters of Hope and Inspiration from Survivors of Breast Cancer

Although many women are now being diagnosed with breast cancer, there is also another reality: women are taking an active role in deciding treatment choices. Now, more than ever, women with this disease want to share their experiences, their fears, & their hopes. This book, comprised of a collection of nearly 100 letters, takes us into the world of the newly diagnosed patient, as well as the woman who has been battling the disease & is urgently seeking a cure. Many describe their physical experience with chemotherapy & its side effects. Written by women from all walks of life -- women of different ages & at different stage of recovery.
