Breast Cancer Awareness Author Roundtable
"You have breast cancer." Four words that every woman dreads hearing. We gathered four authors --- Laney Katz Becker, Barbara Delinsky, Jennie Nash and Jane Plant --- who are also breast cancer survivors to talk about why they wrote their books and what they wish every woman knew about breast cancer.
Their answers may help you or someone you know. Each of these books is a must-read for both those undergoing treatment, as well as their family and friends.
