Have you read Breast Cancer Alphabet?

Heard a bit of a review and description of this book on NPR today. written by
The executive director of news for National Public Radio. while interviewing the President in 2010' she rcvd a call from her doctor saying she had BC. She discusses how we each handle the disease a little differently. The book is more of a guide than memoir. A thru Z. Example W stands for warrior, but yet she does not consider herself a warrior. Author's name is M Shikka. I have not read it, but it sounds interesting.
