Did your journey start by reading the books by this lifelong advocate?

Posted by Chris, Volunteer Mentor @auntieoakley, Jul 3, 2023

I was moved to tears for the life of this surgeon, researcher, advocate, author of The Breast Book and creator of army of women.
Dr. Susan Love has passed away. I will always be grateful to the books that gave me more information than I needed to get through this journey.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Breast Cancer Support Group.

I read her book first, and she also referred me to her partner when I had a suspicious lesion that was not, in the end, cancer, but I met understanding because I was breastfeeding at the time and other docs were telling me to wean my child early. Susan Love was an advocate and educator for all of us and I am so sad to read about her death.

I started reading her books many years ago. While I have not had breast cancer her information about menopause was very helpful to me. I’m sad to read that she has died. She has left an enormous legacy that I know will be of benefit for generations to come.

I always felt I could count on her even though I never met her. I am so sad to read this

I found her books so helpful when I was going through mastectomy, chemotherapy, and radiation. Thanks for posting this.

Learning and gaining different perspectives is such an enjoyable and valuable part of reading. The way you said, "I will always be grateful to the books that gave me more information than I needed to get through this journey" I really connected with that statement.
