This is a book which deal with all cancers, not just breast cancer. The author, Rosenthal was diagnosed with thyroid cancer when she was just 27 years old. Since then she has been a patient advocate for young adults with cancer. The book is based on stories of other cancer patients across the country, interlaced with her own story. It is part guidebook and part true confessions (including her own), as she moves between intimate conversations and sound advice on topics ranging from dating and parenting to working the health-care system and coping with pain. As she talks with 25 young adults of varying backgrounds, the author points out that many were not diagnosed until their symptoms were advanced, often because they have been dismissed by doctors who say they are too young to have cancer, or because they have lost their health insurance during the transition from college to jobs. The text provides needed support and valuable resources for young adults, their parents, friends and caregivers.
