Reviews of 'Now What?'

"When facing mastectomy, you can never ask too many questions, you can only regret not pushing for more details ahead of time. While this is true, you also need true and thorough answers. In Amy Curran Baker's book you find these answers."

-Ingrid Kollak, RN, PhD, Co-author: Yoga and Breast Cancer

"Now What? details all you need to know about what to expect when having a mastectomy. From surgery to recovery, this easy to read, practical resource provides a wealth of information from people who have been there and care enough to share. Now What? is an invaluable resource."

-Katherine Quinn, Executive Director, Support Connection, Breast and Ovarian Cancer Support Services

"The open dialogue [in this book] explores the multiple facets of complete healing and heightens the reality that no two journeys are the same. The upbeat and reassuring content is a must read for those considering a mastectomy."

- Nancy Sokolowski, RN, Breast Health Specialist, Co-author: The Breast Cancer Companion: A Guide for the Newly Diagnosed
"As a Certified Mastectomy Fitter, I often work with women that have gone through a Mastectomy. This book gave me a greater understanding of the personal and medical challenges they face on a daily basis. Clinical terms are explained in a comfortable, easy manner and it is full of suggestions to ease the healing process. Amy Curran Baker does an excellent job portraying life dealing with breast cancer. I would recommend this book for both mastectomy patients and their caregivers."

Off Topic - What I'm Reading - 2012

The Memory Palace by Mira Bartok.
In this wonderful book Mira Bartok chronicles her life with a chronically mentally ill parent. It is thoughtful and jarring and stayed with me for days after I finished reading.

Tina Fey - BossyPants by Tina Fey.
I loved this book for its utter silliness. Having recently discovered 30 Rock and its complete ridiculousness, I found this book to be right up my alley.
