PRETTY SICK: THE BEAUTY GUIDE FOR WOMEN WITH CANCER

Livraison très rapide et le livre est bien fait très intéressant pour une personne qui a le cancer comme moi

I've been chemoing it up for a little better than 4 months now, and finally "really" have lost most of my hair (it happened super gradually and kind of snuck up on me), and I've lost eyebrows and eyelashes as well. The title and premise of this book spoke to me, so I purchased it and thumbed through it, reading the chapters that pertained to "me" at my chemo sessions. Lots of good, basic info in here, and some things that no one tells you (like the eyebrow/eyelash thing - who knew?). The author has a background in the the beauty biz and she's a breast cancer survivor, so she's uniquely positioned to give us a very personal perspective on maintaining a beauty regime as you go through treatment. I gave the book 5 stars for the jaunty, well written content, as well as all the pratical tips. The only thing I didn't respond to was that it was written, really, for breast cancer survivors, and not the general cancery population of women who are coping with any number of other cancers. The author speaks about mastectomy, breast reconstruction, etc., and that's not my personal journey so it didn't resonate with me but I understand that the book is about her journey, which is not necessarily everyone else's.

Brought this for my sister in law who has breast cancer. She absolutely loved it. There is a lot of information in there that she didnt know. Great book!

It’s my wife’s 2nd time for chemo and she wishes she had this book last year. Its a must have for all women going thru the nasty side effects from chemotherapy.

The title and the description of this book are misleading: it looks like full of optimism but actually it is very depressing, therefore not useful. Save your money!
