Reviews

A brilliant, comprehensive guide for anyone with a breast cancer diagnosis. Clearly and calmly written I wish this had been available when I was diagnosed. Victoria Derbyshire



An inspirational, important and friendly book that will be a supportive companion to many women and men with breast cancer, as well as those that love them. Melissa Hemsley



This book will help patients, their families and their friends to navigate the often confusing and overwhelming world following a cancer diagnosis. Dr Lisa Dvorjetz



Empowering Stylist



Rosamund is dedicated to improving the lives and experiences of people with breast cancer and this book is a tremendous collection of helpful tips for those embarking on, going through or coming out the other side of treatment. I look forward to sharing it with my patients. Kat Tunnicliffe, oncological physiotherapist



Having a breast cancer diagnosis can be a lonely and overwhelming experience, and there is an overload of information right from the start. Rosamunds book is not only the manual I wish Id had, but also warm, funny and kind. It's like having a big sister who has been through the same thing, right by your side. Informative and calming, Reconstruction should be prescribed at the moment of that frightening diagnosis. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart. Sarah Cawood, broadcaster



I wish a book like this had been given to me when diagnosed. It would have been the companion I absolutely needed to navigate the craziness of a breast cancer diagnosis and will support so many as they face their own frightening diagnosis. Carly Moosah, breast cancer campaigner
