	from Pam Stephan When I was diagnosed with breast cancer, my hair was long enough for me to sit on and I'd been growing it for 18 years. My oncologist assured me that I was "so much more than hair."

How to Get Through Cancer and Get On with Your Life (Trust Me, I've Been There)

Despite the slimness of this volume, it is packed with practical help and resources. She includes a glossary of medical terms, mini-reviews of other cancer books, and links to websites. On the lighter side, Rapkin gives you lists of things to do while you are waiting, feeling rotten, or filing medical papers. This book's chapters are short, easy-to-read, and well-indexed.
