Bestselling author Barbara Delinsky, whose life has been
shaped by her mother's breast cancer as well as her own, has created the book she wished had existed when she went through her treatment. Uplift is a one-of-a-kind
collection of anecdotes and advice, told in the words of everyday women of all ages who are part of the ever-growing sisterhood of breast cancer survivors. You
won't find medical advice or technical matters discussed here. But you will find all the little things that only someone who's been there can tell you about. What kind of
deodorant can I use during radiation? Are there certain foods that really satisfy on treatment days? How do I address my surgery with
my coworkers? Is it really ok to lean on my friends? How can I still feel feminine? Is there romance after breast cancer? What can I do to feel more in control of my
body and my life?But Uplift isn't only for those with breast cancer. Friends and family can read it to find out what they can best do to help. And men? Uplift
contains quotes from them, too. They share what worked best and how they faced they felt as they helped the women in their lives through it all.Practical,
warm, funny, reassuring, supportive, personal . . . the insights by the contributors to Uplift reveal how they faced their fears and came through the ordeal ready to
get on with life and love, career and family -- and how you can too. If there is one book you'll want to keep close at hand as a nightstand support group, Uplift is it.

The Review This review is dedicated to every woman in my life that has battled the disease,
and to those people close to Girlposse.com that are currently fighting - and winning! (That includes you Mama Lisk!! *grin) You are amongst a group of
phenomenally strong women and I am proud to know you. This book is an amazing collection of stories and helpful hints and laughter and strength. Most of
all - strength. A well deserved salute goes out to all survivors, and a tear for those not so fortunate in the battle. ~Trixie
