Very helpful information and exercises December 13, 2009
B. A. Jones (Atlanta, GA)
I received this book 2 days after I ordered it and did not use fast delivery. I had my mastectomy 9/11 and I was not told about exercising until last week. Then I could not get into the therapy program until Dec 23. I have really been hurting and lots of fluid. I finally went on line and learned about exercising before I ordered this book. In the last hour - I have learned so much. Also the exercise pictures really shows you what to do. By the time I get to therapy - I hope to be doing well. I rate this book an 5 plus.
Good book November 14, 2009
LJK (Montana)
This is a great book that gives a lot of accurate information. I found that if you already have breast cancer, a lot of this information is duplicate from what you can get at any good cancer center for free, but it is all combined into one book rather than tons of brochures. It's a good reference and when everyone around you has an opinion, you can go to this book for the right answers. Would make a great gift for a newly diagnosed patient.

I have truly enjoyed using and referring this book to many persons recovering from breast cancer. I found it on line about 3 weeks out of my first breast cancer surgery, I have found the information in it to be a life saver. I will always hold this book close to my heart, for getting me throught some very hard times.
