Same Song Second Verse is an intimate account of the author's two bouts of breast cancer, the second time just one year after the first. Each was DCIS (ductal carcinoma in situ) requiring a lumpectomy followed by radiation treatments. Ms. Warden learned things from the first time-both practical and spiritual-which helped her get through it all over again. Now, she shares that profound experience with humor and poignancy to help others face their own trials. Many specific tips are provided for everyone involved.
