Uplift by Barbara Delinsky
From the New York Times bestselling author comes this newly revised compilation of practical advice and upbeat anecdotes from more than 300 breast cancer survivors--as well as their families and friends. Barbara Delinsky's 1998 bestseller, COAST ROAD, featured a heroine who was a breast cancer survivor. To this day, it is the book that generates more mail than any of her others. That fact, combined with Barbara's ongoing commitment to breast cancer research, led her to her first book of nonfiction.

Think of it as The Girlfriends' Guide to breast cancer, with hints on everything from what kind of deodorant to use during radiation treatment to the best kinds of exercise after a mastectomy to how to tell the person you're most afraid to tell that you have cancer. And as timeless as ever, this newly revised edition of UPLIFT contains the latest and most up-to-the-minute medical information, as well as new stories from inspiring cancer survivors.Barbara Delinsky has written more than nineteen bestselling novels with over thirty million copies in print.
