A
Time to Mend
(Paperback) by
Angela Hunt
Brings the topic of breast cancer to a place that will hopefully
reach a lot of women. It's not what I would have chosen to read about in a romance,
but I couldn't stop reading once I'd started the novel. Neither does Hunt pull
any punches - the heroine of 28 has to undergo a radical mastectomy; her mother
died of breast cancer, and now her tumor is of a rapidly growing kind. So, where
does a self-sufficient, top oncology nurse go when her own world is falling apart?
- Ruth Axtell Morren

(Paperback) Betty R Ferrell,

By making this suffering visible, the authors wish to honor it and to learn from
it.

Oncology
Nursing Secrets
(Paperback) by
Rose A. Gates, Regina M. Fink
I've worked on a med-surg/oncology unit for
a little more than a year now and this book has really helped me out, especially
in regards to chemotherapy administration and side effects. A wealth of information
that I haven't been able to find anywhere else (from one source). There are chapters
devoted to different types of cancers, as well as chapters on radiation, biotherapy,

Breast
Cancer Survivors' Club: A Nurse's Experience
(Paperback) by
Lillie Shockney
After my friend had breast cancer surgery, I bought Lillie
Shockney's book for her and read it myself to be sure it was appropriate. I was
impressed with the way she conveyed her hope as well as the hard times. She shared
her effective use of humor, and expressed the importance of gathering people around
for support. I gladly passed the book on to my friend with the hope she would
find support in reading about someone who has coped using methods she has also
used. I recommend this book to anyone who is coping with breast cancer, either
as a patient or as a supporter of a friend or family member.
