My mother was diagnosed with Cancer one week before Christmas. We are still battling this horrible disease, but we do see light at the end of the tunnel. This book was inspiration to everyone in my family. My mother, her daughters, her grandchildren....we each benefited in some way from reading There's No Place Like Hope. This book is amazing.....don't hesitate.
It's Still On My Bedside Table
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
I stumbled on this book in a bookstore about 3 weeks into what would become 6 months of chemotherapy for Hodgkin's Lymphoma. It at once made me smile and cry - smile to know I wasn't the first person who felt selfish as a patient, or unapologetic that losing my hair was the hardest part of my treatment - and cry, because the thoughts and feelings she expressed were so real and present in my life at that moment. I have recommended this book to every single person who has shared their experience of cancer with me - both patients and their friends and families. My mother, who has never been sick, bought herself a copy and has given it to many friends. I finished my treatment in November 2004 - eight months later, this book is still on my bedside table, because, as the book so smartly notes, nights are darker and scarier and lonelier when you're up thinking about cancer. Sometimes it helps to turn on the light, and flip through this book.
Great book

This book was so uplifting and informative. I sat down to read it and didn't stop until I was finished with the entire book. My Sister has breast cancer and I found so much "HOPE" inside this little book. I bought the book for my Sis and sent it to her after I read it. Hopefully, she was as impressed with it as I was.

I am a Breast Surgeon. I found the thoughts that Vickie Girard had helped me to look at breast cancer differently. Patients can obtain significant support and great advice from someone like the author who has been through metastatic breast cancer treatment and has survived. It has changed my way of practice and will change the way women choose to receive their care.
Mandatory Reading
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
Best book I've read for dealing with cancer. I think all cancer patients should read it - wish I'd had it five years ago when I was taking treatments. All cancer centers should have a copy of this book in their library and/or should give a copy to each patient. The American Cancer Society should recommend this book. Can't begin to say enough good things about it.
