The best book by Art Smart (Hartsdale, NY USA)  5 Stars
May 11, 2009
This is the only book that deals with my particular situation, starting with a diagnosis of Stage 4 Metastatic Breast cancer. The entire book is useful, not just one part. I often re-read it too, especially the well organized section on chemo medications and side-effects. Nothing soft-pedaled, but straight-forward questions and answers, which I appreciate.
