Hope Lives! The After Breast Cancer Treatment Survival Handbook (sequal to Hope Is Contagious)

Margit Esser Porter's first book, Hope Is Contagious, won rave reviews not only from doctors and the media but also from thousands of women diagnosed with breast cancer. This second volume addresses the difficult period after initial treatment, a time when you need understanding, encouragement, and practical advice from women who have experienced the disease first hand. That's when you need hope--and Hope Lives!

Compiled from hundreds of questionnaires received from all across the country, and including a foreword by noted oncologist Dr. Annette Furst of Boston's Faulkner Breast Centre, Hope Lives! offers wisdom, hope, and inspiration from those who have been there. This single volume contains advice from celebrities and non-celebrities alike, all of them living with breast cancer. Covering issues from posttraumatic stress to fatigue, menopause, weight gain, lymphedema, and recurrence--and complete with a resource section and illustrations of suggested yoga postures--Hope Lives! provides the support you need to see you through all those days and years to come.
