The PBCC surveyed breast cancer survivors about
reading materials they would suggest to a friend.
These are their recommendations.
If you have any additional recommendations, please
email Kim at kim@pabreastcancer.org.
Do you have any of these books you would like
to donate? The PBCC would love donations of these
books to place in Friends
Like Me™ care packages which are sent
at no cost to women living in Pennsylvania who
have been newly-diagnosed with breast
cancer. Please email Kim at
kim@pabreastcancer.org or
send to: PA Breast Cancer Coalition, Trout Run
Business Center,
344 North Reading Road, Ephrata, PA 17522.
