My Favorite Book When Diagnosed with Breast Cancer June 21, 2010
Anne M. Bennett (Beverly, MA USA)
I only have high praise and warm gratitude for Ronnie Kaye's book which is THE book that helped me get through my own surgeries and chemo and radiation treatments several years ago. I don't think I could have done it without this book. It was the only book I could find at the time that addressed the myriad of feelings I was experiencing. It was the only book I could find at the time that made me feel like a PERSON instead of a PATIENT. And it was definitely the inspiration for my own book about my breast cancer journey, Bright Side of the Road: A Spiritual Journey Through Breast Cancer, which also deals primarily with the emotional and spiritual (not religious) journey that is breast cancer.
Transforming Trials to Lessons in Life January 11, 2000

27 out of 31 found this review helpful
Ronnie Kaye has a marvelous ability to take a potentially devastasting experience and show how to transform it into a stepping stone of life. As both a man and a doctor, I found her book not only enlightening, but touching as well. Besides illuminating for us -- doctors, patients & family --about how to cope with breast cancer, Ronnie Kaye also provides the reader invaluable lessons about humor, unconditional love, and the nature of the indomitable spirit. The reader has the opportunity to follow in the footsteps of a marvelous teacher who speaks from personal experience in leading the reader to their own triumphant life.
A positive tool for dealing with a breast cancer diagnosis December 9, 1999
Dasha Drab (Gold River, CA)
47 out of 47 found this review helpful
Ronnie Kaye has written a wonderful book to help people deal with the emotional issues of a breast cancer diagnosis. It is one of the few that addresses fear of the unknown and the emotional roller coaster that women are on when dealing with breast cancer. When a woman is being treated, her medical team's focus is on the clinical part of saving her life. Emotional issues are rarely addressed or women are told to go find a support group. By using examples of how she has helped women in her own breast cancer support groups, Ronnie clearly defines coping skills that will help women regain some control in their lives and live with the fear. Her book is laced with real life scenarios...the very things that all breast cancer patients face. But she gives us suggestions and ideas on how to live instead of dying. Ronnie has been there. She knows that a devastating diagnosis doesn't mean the end. Instead, she will guide the reader to an understanding of how breast cancer can be an opportunity for growth and fulfillment.
