Divine Secrets of the Ta-Ta Sisterhood: Pledging the Pink Sorority by Joanna Chapman
Breast cancer, or any cancer for that matter, is not funny, nor should it be taken lightly. It is an extremely serious condition and needs to be fully understood with all the options available.
Joanna Chapman not only wants you to know how devastating it is when you are first told, and how confusing all the terminology can be, plus the options based on how serious the cancer is at the first discovery, but she wants you to know, you can still live your life and keep a sense of humor. Do research and don’t be afraid to ask lots of questions, and don’t be afraid to ask for help from others.
There is no one correct way. Every woman has her own situation and needs to make the best decision for her. What seems like the best solution may not be after speaking with the professionals. It goes back to knowing your own situation. Don’t be afraid to ask for all your records, lab results, etc. This is YOUR body.
Interspersed along the way are small tidbits of advice, along with websites, books, etc to help aid you in your research and travels.
You may not have the same family and friend closeness, but don’t feel you must bear this alone. Search out your local support groups, try your religious groups and most importantly are your Pink Sisters who have and are going through the same diagnosis.
This book is a must read for anyone with breast cancer. Not only does Joanna write the beginning, when she was diagnosed, and the during, but the difficulty in the after surgery.
