Book Reco - Pretty Sick: The Beauty Guide for Women with Cancer

AgathaNYC

In the past month since I was diagnosed I've been doing a lot of heavy reading about BC and it's treatments. I've also been doing a lot of deep meditation and prayer.

I haven't really had enough time or energy to start looking into how my upcoming treatments and surgery will effect my exterior. This book was written by a magazine beauty editor, Caitlin Kiernan, who went through a mastectomy and reconstruction. Through her job as a beauty writer she had access to the best sources for info on post-op and treatment garments, skin care, wig selection, nails. etc. She provides a lot of specific examples of products she's tried and gives links.

I got a ton of useful tips from it. I downloaded the iBook from iTunes but it's on Amazon, too.

Thanks for the recommendation. I was diagnosed on September 21, so I am not far off from you.
