A long-overdue book of support for the loved ones of breast cancer patients.
Award-winning journalist Tarkan (Self, McCall's) tries here to help daughters of women diagnosed with breast cancer deal with the changes that come with their mother's illness or death, changes that can affect an already fragile mother/daughter relationship. Her book is split into two parts. Part 1 Features 16 women whose stories, divided into subject-related chapters, encompass the mother/daughter scenario...Part 2 discusses stratagems for daughters who fear their own illness and mortality and stresses the basics of early detection, getting all available information on treatments and therapies, and coping...A secondary purchase for psychotherapists, social workers, and counselors of women with breast cancer and their families and for larger public libraries and inclusive patient-health/psychology collections. -- ( Library Journal, 4/15/99 )
