January 26th, 2012 The Victoria's Secret Catalog Never Stops Coming: And Other Lessons I Learned From Breast Cancer
Breast cancer made Jennie Nash a wise old woman at the age of thirty-six. She learned, among other things, that her instincts are good, her kids are really resilient, and that, in the fight against breast cancer, the journey for patients, family, and friends can be a surprisingly positive, life-changing experience. Some five years younger than the AMA-recommended age for mammograms, Jennie Nash insisted she be tested, not because of a lump but because of a hunch brought on by a friend's battle

I don’t have breast cancer and I hope to God I never do. But if I did, I would want a friend or family member to give me Jennie Nash’s “The Victoria’s Secret Catalog Never Stops Coming and Other Lessons I Learned From Breast Cancer.” Why? Because Ms. Nash tells it like it is from a woman, wife, and young mother’s perspective.
No weighted-down, lofty medical jargon here. She writes from the heart as if her words were lifted straight out of her journal. Ms. Nash’s writing style is candid and fearless as she lifts the veil from a disease I, and millions of other women, have long dreaded. My grandmother died of breast cancer. Perhaps it’s in my genes. Maybe it’s in yours. Having read Ms. Nash’s book, I’m no longer afraid. Like her, I hope I’d battle breast cancer with the same hope, humor, and honor.
Life’s most difficult challenges sometimes prove to be our greatest blessings. Ms. Nash proves that to be the case by discovering lessons she passes on to readers. Jennie Nash writes that breast cancer made her wise at the ripe old age of 36. Now, thanks to her candor, we’re the one’s who are wise, and grateful.
This book is destined to become a classic in breast cancer literature. My advice: Buy two books–one to keep on the bookself and one to give away.

|Touching,
I bought and read this book after my mothers diagnosis with breast cancer,and I have to say this is one of the most realistically heart-wrenching books I have ever read. Any time I ever heard anything about breast cancer,I never paid attention, but little did I know the impact it would have on my (and especially my mother’s) life. Breast cancer is one of the most physically,and emotionally draining things you can go through.As my mother’s sole caretaker I didn’t know what to do to help her.I bought this book as my mother was going through one of her most difficult times,and this helped brighten her spirit. It also gave me tips on what to do to help my mother out and make things more comfortable for her. Even though I am still very young,this helped me realize breast cancer is an epidemic,and you never know when or how badly this will affect you. I liked this book so much I bought two copies,in order to give one to my mom’s friend who had also suffered this monster known as cancer. I RECOMMEND THIS TO ANYONE TOUCHED BY THIS DISEASE, IN ANY WAY, SHAPE,OR FORM.

|Taken by Surprise,
This book, The Victoria’s Secret Catalog Never Stops Coming and other Lessons I Learned from Breast Cancer, was just what I needed. I was diagnosed with the dreaded BC three weeks ago. I went through a lumpectomy a week ago. I spent the last 3 weeks pouring over technical medical books, reviewing statistics, researching information on the web and learning as much as I could about the disease. I purchased this book on a whim, thinking it may give a perspective that would help alleviate the stress I was going through.
I laughed, cried and also realized that I was not alone. The descriptions of friends and family mirror my situation as well.
The book is now an all time favorite of mine that I hope others will read and also be inspired to tell their story.
