I Didn't Order This Pink Ribbon by Alice Krumm, RN, BSN, MS, CNOR
In I Didn’t Order This Pink Ribbon, first-time author and founder of Beyond Pink, LLC, Alice Krumm not only offers women and their families practical advice for pre-and post-surgical aspects of surviving breast cancer, she also shares her unique story to empower other women to trust their instincts, their education, and their feelings, so they, too, can make the right decisions for themselves and their families.
Through powerful personal revelations, Alice captures the full gamut of physical strain and emotional stress overcome by women who undergo breast cancer treatment. She touts the importance of believing in yourself, trusting your physicians, and allowing yourself to open up to the love and support offered by family and friends. Family members of breast cancer patients will find their feelings reflected in the writings of Alice’s husband, daughters, and parents, whose struggles and triumphs punctuate her path to recovery.
Also included, in Part 2, is a 35-page indexed guide of terms and tips for those undergoing treatment for breast cancer. The author’s background as a surgical nurse and nursing instructor, makes this guide a helpful resource and this author a qualified communicator.
