"Breathing Deep by Amy Eini" An amazing description of what it is to go through cancer, for the patient and the family. Definately a book that one can identify with, a book that can help one realize that what the family and patient are going through is acceptable and very "normal" under the circumstances. All cancer patients and their families can benefit from reading this book.
"Breathing Deep" This is an extraordinary book. With her beautiful use of language, Amy takes us through her experience with lymphoma, tugging at our heartstrings and inspiring us at the same time. Her visuals so strong, I could smell the stem cells, feel her weakness, determination and strength, see her home-made i.v. pole, taste the food she dreamt of having made at the hospital, and always admired her sense of humour. This is a must-read not only a book for lymphoma patients, but for anyone who has or is coping with an illness or hurdle in life. I learnt so much, and was inspired. Thank you for your honesty, and sharing your story Amy! WS
