Today I just began reading a book called "After Breast Cancer" by Musa Mayer. It was sent to me by the people who make Herceptin. When I began treatment there was someplace you could sign up for info from them and I have periodically received little encouraging pamphlets, etc. Now that I have completed the year of treatment, this book came. The timing is perfect. It looks to address so many of the concerns and fears we all share.
