Same Song, Second Verse: A Breast Cancer Survivor's Uplifting Story

Rating:
Summary: Never give up
Review: Before I read your book I would have said that only a cancer patient could have known what having cancer is all about. However, you managed to make the whole experience understandable.
While my surgery was not like either of yours the radiation treatments were the same.
Your suggestions for friends and family are a god's send for all.
Thank you so much for your succinct writing of a complex problem.

Review: I'm so impressed with the strength and courage of Betty. It certainly gives you food for thought on your own life and priorities. I bought this book for myself and a friend who has breast cancer. Thanks to Betty's book I will have a deeper understanding on the support my friend will need in the upcoming months.

Thank you Betty, and may the sun continue to shine upon you.

Summary: Unique viewpoint -- filled with happiness and healing.
Review: My mother has been going threw an awful cancer and depression, and I've been bringing her any books I can find to help her cope. This one was a real blessing. Most of the other books were either too clinical or too preachy. This one was just wonderful. It felt natural right from the beginning -- almost as if you were talking to an old friend. It really made my mom feel better. The experiences related by Ms. Warden were immediately accessible and recognizable to her, and Ms. Warden's warm, sensible spin on everything was perfect. Not too much, not too little -- just the right viewpoint to help my mom find her way back home. Thanks.

Summary: Inspiring and uplifting!
Review: This is an amazing book for EVERY WOMAN and men too! The pearls of wisdom imparted are invaluable for all. The incredible spirit with which it's written makes this book very difficult to put down. It's humorous, moving and very inspirational. It's not just about cancer, it's about living life to the fullest, loving and laughing. The "do's and don'ts" section towards the end is worth "the price of admission." Run, don't walk to buy this book...one for yourself and at least one for a perfect gift for a friend.
