Great New Book to Read-- Hearing the Stream

Hearing the Stream, A Survivor's Journey into the Sisterhood of Breast Cancer. The foreword of the book is written by Dr. Jodi Chambers, a prominent breast cancer surgeon in Denver , and the back cover testimonial is written by Dr. Tim Byers, Interim Director of the University of Colorado Cancer Center. More information is included below and in the attachments.

Hearing the Stream:

A Survivor’s Journey into the Sisterhood of Breast Cancer weaves together the author’s own story of her struggle with breast cancer with those of five others also diagnosed. Through each of their eyes Chambers brings to life the complexities of this disease, from its emotional and physical impact to its sometimes hidden historical, economic, political, and environmental dimensions. Chambers shows how bonds of sisterhood develop among the survivors, ironically bringing a great deal that is positive into their lives.

Because of her grandmother’s and her own experiences with breast cancer, Chambers speaks with authority on this subject. Her research and extensive involvement with survivors and cancer organizations allow her to provide a rich, mature perspective on the many complex facets of breast cancer.
