I haven't read that book - the description does sound good.

One book I would recommend that helped me personally is Harold Benjamin's "From Victim To Victor." It helps in dealing with doctors, treatments, and things that improve the immune system to help one get through it all.

Benjamin started the Wellness Community centers, where patients and their significant others can go to free, moderated support groups -- there may be one in your friend's area. Ours helped us a lot.

I'll put a link below that lists a review, and the bottom of the page shows several other books that might be helpful.

As a former patient, I want you to know that your friend will still appreciate talking about everyday, non-cancer topics with you, at the same time knowing you are open to hearing her concerns about her illness. Thanks for being there for her!

For those going through chemo "No More Bad Hair Days" by Susan Sturges Hyde was an excellant read, very inspirational and humerous at the same time. It is a book I was given and loved.

A friend game me the book linked below and it is a wonderful book and full of information. It covers the whole gamut of diagnosis and living with cancer....

Thank you all. I'll look into the options you suggested.

I did read Crazy Sexy cancer Tips and loved it. The book gives you lots of information on diet, etc. and also has pleny of laughs in it. I would definitely recommend it.
