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

Pennsylvania women newly diagnosed with breast
cancer at no cost to them. Please email Kim at
