Pink Ribbon Review BCAM Giveaway: Day Nine

It’s day nine of the Pink Ribbon Review Breast Cancer Awareness Month Giveaway.
In honor of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, I’m giving away a pink ribbon product every single day during the month of October.
Today’s giveaway: A copy of Cathy Bueti’s memoir, Breastless in the City.
Breastless in the City is a great read most simply because Cathy’s story is a fascinating one: She was widowed at age 25 and diagnosed with breast cancer when she was in her early thirties.
Here’s a snippet:
“The first thing I remember after surgery is feeling as if I’d been run over by a truck! I guess I am still alive, I thought. From my breasts down to my thighs, everything felt like a combination of a burning pain and numbness.”
The link above brings you to the book review I wrote when I first read the book, republished on Pink Ribbon Review last April. You can head directly to Cathy’s webpage to read more about her and her book. Plus, you can read her Survivor Story here.
Remember to follow the Pink Ribbon Review BCAM giveaway rules and leave an appropriate comment on this post before midnight EST.
Good luck!

As a soon to be RN, I think this would really help me in the future.
This looks like a great book. My mom had a modified radical mastectomy back in 1976. She was a brave one. I was 16 at the time and remember how brave she was. Like a previous poster, if I don’t win this book, I will still get it and read it, it looks like a real WINNER!

Sounds like the author is a true hero in face of all the tragedy in her life. I’m going to reserve it at our local library.
Breast cancer is finally being treated as it should have been years ago. Love the book, more women still need to learn about breast cancer.
