From Library Journal:
Brinker supplements the story of her own bout with breast cancer with practical guidance on diagnosis, selection of a health-care team, reconstruction decision, appearance, recovery, and sexuality. Although several outstanding titles heightening awareness on breast cancer have been published recently, most notably Mimi Greenberg's Invisible Scars: A Guide to Coping with the Emotional Impact of Breast Cancer ( LJ 5/15/88), Deborah Hobler Kahane's No Less a Woman: Ten Women Tell the Truth About Breast Cancer ( LJ 5/15/90), and Philip Strax's Make Sure You Do Not Have Breast Cancer ( LJ 11/1/89), this book's straightforward style, affecting story, and wealth of practical advice make it a useful addition to public library collections.
