Best books?

I read many books when I was first diagnosed (too many, I was obsessive about it &  knew I was finally moving on a little when I could tear myself away from the 'cancer' section of the book store). By far the one that helped me the most was,  " Breast Cancer- Real Questions, Real Answers" by Dr. David Chan, MD.

For the middle of the night reading, check out the "Book Lovers Club" thread for great, fun, and interesting book selections (no cancery or self help books allowed).

Best of Luck! Ruth

I also found The Intelligent Patient's Guide to Breast Cancer very helpful.  The other two that were very helpful were Dr. Love's Breast Book and Kathy Steligo's The Breast Reconstruction Guidebook.

I'm recovering from reconstruction now and have been going through Sara Paretsky's series about a female private eye (the V.I. Warshawski series).  It's nice escape reading: not too heavy, but still compelling.  My library has the whole series, so it's free for me to read all of them, too!

I just got onto my second sudoku book: not to do with BC at all but needs just enough concentration to forget BC for a while, and you know your brain is still in there somewhere, and also do'able in the waiting room and gives you a feeling of achievement when you finish it!
