Pink-On-Pink Writing My Way through Breast Cancer
Contents:
All of her advice is underpinned by peer-reviewed research. There are chapters for each of these issues, with every item clearly explained. It sets out possible barriers, especially regarding exercise during chemotherapy - which sounds counter-intuitive, but you will fully understand why working out during treatment is beneficial.
Each chapter contains hints on how much of a kind of food to eat, what foods contain the nutritional ingredient under discussion and tips on the best way to prepare them. She also provides key messages - for instance, regarding amounts of alcohol, dairy foods, exercise and so on that are best for maximum benefit. At least in my mind, this book clears up several issues.
For instance, when I was diagnosed with breast cancer, I was given to understand that I should avoid soy products and have done so for the past seven years.

She clearly explains exactly what a moderate intake consists of. She not only sets out what you need to do to to maintain a healthy lifestyle, but there are also tips on how to achieve this goal.
It's easy to find any specific piece of information and her writing is highly persuasive. If you need motivation to exercise and seek dietary information, this is your go-to book. She sounded young, vibrant, real. I also loved the title.

Her breast cancer is a part of the story but most definitely not the focus. The honesty and directness with which she writes makes her book a very refreshing quick read I finished it in three nights. While some women do amazing things like run marathons after cancer, others like myself and to some extent Fiona, use our energy to just keep fit and be healthy. We prefer to be wiser and kinder to ourselves and our battered bodies. Her book highlights some of the many issues women struggle with including depression and her story shows professional assistance can help. For health professionals she nicely explains how a compassionate attitude makes a patient feel like a person and that words spoken without thought can have a huge negative impact.
At the end of the book, Fiona felt like a friend.
