The book was very informative and helpful with the information that I was looking for.
Rating: 5 / 5
This book has detailed information that can be overwhelming for those that have diagnoses that are not very early breast cancer. However, if you want to know everything and have a lot of information, you will appreciate this book for all of its content.There is a lot of useful information. If you don’t want end of life issues at this time, don’t go there with this book, because it covers a lot of territory. For me, parts of this book were scary.
Rating: 3 / 5
This is a great book if you’ve just finished treatment for breast cancer. After spending a whole year in and out of hospital with operations, chemo and radiotherapy I needed some advice on how to get back to living a normal life but also advice on what I could do to combat a return of the cancer.

I’ve been reading and researching breast cancer on and off for 4 years. A year ago my breast cancer metasticized, and it’s hard to find honest information (or any information) about metastatic disease. The title to this book is misleading, because it doesn’t mention the fantastic, updated metastatic information. It is by far the most comprehensive, readable treatment of this I’ve found. I’m ordering several copies to give away.

There’s a lot of good information in this book…for 1998. Breast cancer treatment and survival has come a long way since then; this book should reflect that. Also, was surprised at how much stuff they covered that *wasn’t* post-treatment. A lot of what this book covered was in other books for the newly diagnosed and those going through treatment — I wanted more about actual life after treatment, not more recaps of breast reconstruction.
Disappointing.
