Breast cancer is not NEWS. Ways to make it more tolerable IS.

CHARLAVAN BAKER HART has written a book called TITTATTS: LIFE AFTER BREAST CANCER that could change the lives of so many victims. She knows. She is a survivor of advanced breast cancer.

After many surgeries and treatments, she had all the scars tattooed with flowers and butterflies. It worked like a miracle. Once she could no longer see the scars, the fight ended. She won and has been well for nine years. (and very COLORFUL.)

She is a seasoned author and columnist and approaches life with a smile and a bit of humor. There is nothing funny about cancer. A MODIFIED RADICAL MASTECTOMY isn’t a crowd pleaser but the book is. Her approach to it thru tears and fears will help a great many readers.

The fact that she had spent 20 years as an image consultant gave her the biggest challenge of her life and she met it head on.

She claims that looking better always makes you feel better. That needs to be shared.

One of the unique stories behind her healing was ‘leech therapy’ which was used to try and salvage a breast made from her own body. It failed but it made great theatre at the hospital. It is entertaining and informative reading. Her reconstruction doctor is famous as the originator and president of a charity group of doctors who perform operations for those in need and do it without compensation. HH He made a very generous endorsement of this book.

It is easy reading and is being applauded as a great help in the healing process by HEALING WITH A SMILE.

This book is just now being released and she is busy working on a follow-up, dealing with the different treatments for breast cancer. This one will be called THE LUMP and she shares what you can expect from the treatments like chemotherapy and estrogen deprivation.

Good stuff and easy reading. BEEN THERE. DONE THAT.
