Real advice. Real stories. Real women.
'Uplift' is a unique collection of tips and anecdotes from hundreds of breast cancer survivors. In this book, bestselling author Barbara Delinsky, whose own life has been dramatically reshaped by breast cancer - her mother's as well as her own - has created exactly the resource she wished had existed at the time of her treatment.
These pages are filled with invaluable words of experience and hope, and advice on matters that only women who have already been there can tell us about - from nitty-gritty tips on even the smallest details of daily life to inspiring personal stories.
The book answers such questions as:
- What kind of deodorant can I use during radiation?
- Are there certain foods that are best for treatment days?
- When it comes to leaning on people close to me, how much is "too much"?
- How can I still feel feminine? What about a sex life?
- What steps can I take to feel more in control of my life and my body?
Practical, warm, funny, reassuring, and always real, 'Uplift' isn't only for those with breast cancer. Friends and family will find out what they can do - and not do - to help. And men? This book contains quotes from them, too, about how they felt when a woman they cared about was going through treatment.
All of the author's proceeds from the sale of this book will be donated to breast cancer research.
