You Can Do This! ISBN 0740785753 new ISBN 9780740785757

You Can Do This!  by Elisha Daniels
Breast cancer survivors Kelley Tuthill and Elisha Daniels are redefining what it means to be a cancer patient. ‘You Can Do This!’ shares with you the strategies that worked, what didn’t, and what they wish they’d have known at the time of diagnosis. Benefiting from the expertise of Dr Ann Partridge, an oncologist at the renowned Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston who helped both of the authors through their own cancer journeys, this triumvirate answers questions like: Can you keep working? How do you pick out a wig or pencil in an eyebrow? What role might reconstruction surgery and prosthetics play in your recovery? What steps can you take to retain a professional, healthy image despite the effects of chemotherapy?
