"To Be Alive covers such important matters as separating from treatment and the medical team, nutrition and lifestyle, overcoming physical disabilities and problems of body image, intimacy, spouse/partner communication, pregnancy and motherhood, feelings of isolation, discrimination, and much more. Also included are the case histories of many women survivors, showing readers that their concerns are shared by others and they are not alone." "To Be Alive is the first book written specifically for women cancer survivors to help them heal their lives. It will act as a catalyst for honest conversations about the cancer experience between wives and husbands, mothers and daughters, friends and co-workers, women and their caregivers."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
