From Zero to Mastectomy: What I Learned and You Need to Know About Stage 0 Breast Cancer by Jackie Fox

Breast cancer is identified by its stage, from zero to four. Writer Fox was diagnosed with DCIS, or ductal carcinoma in situ, stage 0 and considered the most curable. Yet women will experience the same fears and emotions as with any other breast cancer diagnosis and often more confusion and frustration as to what to do next. Fox's brief text should help those in a similar situation find answers and, more important, the right questions to pose to medical professionals.

Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and Criticism
As a Stage Zero Breast Cancer survivor, I felt as though I was reading my own story as I followed along with Jackie on her journey through this life-changing experience. I never even heard of Stage Zero before my diagnosis so I instantly related to Jackie from her first words to her final sentences. It was as if she was reading my mind as I moved through the various milestones in my own surgery and recovery. This book is funny (I laughed out loud at some points!), more emotional than I expected and, in some ways, comforting. I love how Jackie describes it as a "mammoir". Read it and share it. I have already passed on copies to other people I know who will appreciate Jackie's story as much as I do.
