The Upside to Everything, Even Breast Cancer - by Theresa Drescher (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Many breast cancer patients struggle with the same issues: fear, uncertainty, insurance, family, friends, work, intimacy, sex, identity, anger, depression, moving on after a diagnosis. Drescher combines medical and practical information, and shares wisdom gathered from fifteen years volunteering on a breast cancer helpline and from speaking to women around the world.
