Thanks for sending me your book so quickly. I got it last week. The day I received it, later that night I started reading it and continued till the wee hours of the morning and finished it. I found I just wanted to read it all at one time.

I don't even know how to put into words what an incredible book you have written. Sometimes I just cried, sometime your humor would make me laugh but mostly I felt like I was on this unique personal trip with you through this past year where you bare your most personal thoughts and feelings in fighting cancer.

I knew when you started your tale of 2 boobies blog it was special but the book far exceeds anything I imagined. Even down to the photography - all the details were just so professional and beautifully executed. You should really be proud of yourself in creating this book as it will help others along their journey against cancer too.

I read it I loved it, I read it again and loved it more. And those pictures in the back made me cry like a baby... You ever tell anyone that, I'll deny it.

This book is a "must" read for anyone diagnosed with breast cancer, or really any type of cancer. It not only touches on the clinical aspects of what to expect, but more importantly it touches on the personal affects on the person with cancer and the family and friends.

Finding a connection through breast cancer is so important. The healing only can begin when you can validate your emotions. Shelly thank you for making this emotional journey in print so that others can see what they are up against and that they will never be alone because you and so many of us will be right there. I am honored to know you and proud to call you my sister in "Stupid Dumb Breast Cancer".

From the introductory of this life-changing book you are hooked when the author, Shelly, invites you on her candid and emotional journey by sharing when she first felt a lump in her right breast on a camping trip, to the urging of her mother to get it checked out. Prepare and brace yourself while Shelly transports you into the hospital room where she tearfully describes the biopsy procedure she endured alone, scared, and all the while in indescribable pain. It is rather immediately one realizes the strength and courage of this amazing survivor.

Shelly is meticulous and detailed not only explaining medical jargon in layman's terms, but also educates and informs the reader by including top-notch definitions from the nation’s most respected and reputable cancer centers. Shelly openly shares the mixed reactions from her children, as well as, the emptiness she movingly describes having to miss a few important events in their life due to her treatments and sickness.

I have not once read a book and felt like I myself were diagnosed, and underwent, as Shelly describes it "an apocalypse" as I have while reading this genuine book. Shelly's writing is brilliant, and her ability to take you hand-in-hand with her on this wild journey is unparalleled.

You may laugh at the quips, you may cry over the vulnerabilities. You may jump and cheer (especially when Shelly blogs while in remission telling cancer, "GAME OVER. You lost, I won!" You may be driven to write or call Shelly and offer a hug. You may squirm in your chair from the eye-brow raising photos Shelly courageously includes but one thing is for certain; you will never read a more heart-felt and soul-bearing book on the ins-and-outs of cancer, and life beyond it.

Shelly’s writings are downright engaging. You will most certainly catch yourself nodding your head in agreement with her relatable and precious moments. This is far more than a book, this is an experience.
