This book is very upbeat and aimed at young survivors - it's pink
and white color scheme and charming illustrations keep your spirits up. A
consistently positive book, Hazen does not dwell on the down side of treatment -
but keeps her eye on the goals of breast cancer treatment and the coming
celebration. Women who already have a wide circle of friends and family will
find this book extremely useful - it is packed with supportive tasks and tips.
But this book may be overwhelming to women without such a support
network. In case you're not supplied with a large extended family within close
reach, a gaggle of girlfriends, or any other ready-made support system, just
pick and choose from the advice in Treat Her Like a Princess. I would
recommend this book for any patient or supporter who likes to be organized and
helpful, because the advice is so practical.

I really enjoyed speaking with you,
Denise, yesterday over the phone; your story is heart-warming and one that will
help many women in their plight against breast cancer. I am attaching a link to
my blog; I posted my piece on your book just this
morning.

Read the book, then gather your
friend's friends together and plan what you can do to be supportive as she
journeys through her breast cancer treatments. The book covers accompanying her
to appointments, helping her keep up with meal preparation and home care,
supporting her family, and gently celebrating treatment milestones. MORE

Finally, a book that
provides me with all the information I need to help my friends in need. Who else
to provide the information but someone who has gone through it. Thanks you,
Denise, for helping women help each other!

As the
caregiver to my sister, I loved the suggestions in Treat her like a Princess.
The book has helped me to under stand the process and has given me insight into
what my sister will really need. Here's to Princess
Power!

Denise Hazen has given us a gift in
the form of Treat her Like a Princess. She reminds us that life is too short and
precious. We all need to slow down and treat each other like
royalty.

Being told you have breast cancer
is devastating, battling it alone is nearly impossible. As a two-time survivor,
my family and I have hit some extremely tough times. If it had not been for the
help of an army of friends and family we would have fallen apart. We had a team
that was there to meet our daily needs – food, play dates and babysitting, hand
holding, shoulders to cry on, shuttle service to treatments, medical research –
they were an unbelievable force to help us through and be with us during the
journey. Treat her Like a Princess, girlfriends' guide to breast cancer is such
a treasure to the community. With this guide in hand, there is no need to give
that rhetorical response – ‘Call me if you need anything!' The answers are right
at your fingertips! Thanks Denise for such a great
tool!

Thank you for
the lovely presentation last night at the Women in Medicine Dinner here in San
Antonio. I appreciated your sharing valuable life lessons with us. It is
obviously one thing to talk about these life challenges, and another thing to
not only live them, but also turn it into a positive experience. I personally
wish you continued joy in your life's work.

Lovely lovely book. The
best one so far on this subject, November 6, 2009
By Kimberley Clayton Blaine, MA, MFT "The Go-To Mom"
This book was so helpful in showing me what I needed to do for my
sister who has breast cancer. The chemo and scheduled surgeries are overwhelming
for everyone - but this book puts everything in perspective and allows loved
ones to treat cancer patients like princesses. The illustrations are beautiful.
Buy the book now :-) We simply LOVE it!
