'It's only cancer - challenging the negative perception.'
In this gentle, serious, sensitive story, you'll laugh a hell of a lot, wince with embarrassment, cry, learn about what people with cancer really feel and find out about the mysterious medical process which is an inevitable part of dealing with a cancer diagnosis.
A truly inspiring and uplifting book (pun intended) "Bosom Buddies" weaves together the stories of four breast cancer survivors. Each chapter is a unique encounter with Gaye, Sandy, Diane and Doris, four women who have the ability to view their breast cancer not as death, or an ordeal, but as an experience. These are four different reactions and methods of coping with each phase of the cancer treatment - the common thread throughout is laughter, and a few tears.
From the initial "Is it? Isn't it?" phase, through diagnosis, explaining the situation to husbands, friends and children, operations, chemo and radiography, and post-operative reconstruction, every dilemma along the way is discussed with courageous honesty. These women probably regard themselves as "average"; in fact, they've given us an insight into the human condition - blood, sweat, tears and laughter. Not average at all.
