Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I picked up my wife's book, not knowing what it was about.With the title and photo I assumed it to be about dating.As I began reading it became clear to me that this lady was in big trouble.
My mother was in her late forties when she discovered a lump in her left breast. A general practitioner told her she had cancer and must immediately have the breast removed. This was in the sixties.He hacked off her breast and sewed it up in a most crude manner, leaving a hideous scar.I knew what she went through was no picnic, but until reading "Why I wore Lipstick," I had no idea the depths of her despair and suffering.
In the eighties my sister was found to have cancer, and both breasts were removed and then reconstructed.Again, no idea of what she was going through.
Last year my mother again developed cancer, this time in her right breast.She was 85 years old and suffering from dementia.
With the help of my loving wife and hospice we nursed her in my home until her death.
Geralyn's story took me into the physical and psychological depths of her experience.She shared her feelings in a way that I never could have imagined.Her story also gave me insight into the media world. I always assume that those who make it to the top tend to lack compassion and kindness.I am grateful for her helping me to become more sensitive to the afflicted, and for helping dispel my prejudice toward those in high places.
Humility, humor, openness. What an experience!
