Bald Is Better with Earrings: A Survivor's Guide to Getting through Breast Cancer.
Hutton, Andrea (Author)
Jul 2015. 224 p. HarperWave, paperback, $17.99. (9780062375650). 616.99.
“How-to-survive” breast-cancer handbooks are proliferating as many women (and a few men) are tested, retested, diagnosed, and submitted to cancer surgery, which can sometimes mean losing one or both breasts. Follow-ups can vary from nothing to aggressive courses of chemotherapy and radiation, and survivors’ guidebooks like Hutton’s frequently claim to dissipate terror and prepare the newly diagnosed for what will follow. But nothing can. Still, Hutton’s transformation into “Cancer Girl” motivated her to start a blog, then, recognizing that her intense research didn’t prepare her for her cancer journey, expand it into this straightforward, often humorous, no-nonsense, step-by-step, tip-filled text. No single guide can be all-inclusive since cancer cases vary widely, but Hutton’s “Top Tips” for choosing a surgeon, understanding and handling radiation and chemo, dealing with your new self-image and scars, approaching post-surgery sex, managing side effects from treatments and accompanying medications, and getting on with your life will help many.
