There's Nothing Like A Breast

by Diane Chechik

Overview

Diane Craig Chechik’s bold, courageous second book, "There's Nothing Like A Breast," continues from where her first, chilling book, "Journey To Justice," left off. This is revelatory insight into extraordinary emotional, physical and sexual challenges -- the result of a radical mastectomy. In candid, brutally honest terms, Diane takes the reader through every sensual and scary moment with vivid descriptions, a little self-deprecatory humor and, above all, a true fight for survival to live a "normal" life under anything-but-normal circumstances.

About the Author

Diane Craig Chechik has been a breast cancer survivor since December 12, 1983. She is the longest living survivor in the world, who has been taking the anti-estrogen drug, Tamoxifen.

She was born and raised in Chicago, and graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Journey To Justice, her first book, details her fight of survival and justice, through a successful malpractice suit. Her second book, There's Nothing Like A Breast, focuses on the emotional and sexual effects of her subsequent reconstructive surgery.

Diane resides in Sarasota, Florida. She has two sons, Marc and Joel, and four wonderful grandchildren.

Editorial Reviews

"The writer Shelby Foote once remarked that survival is triumph enough. Of course, he never met Diane Craig Chechik. If anyone ever had a right to feel good just being around, it is Chechik...she is much more than a survivor."

Doug Moe

"What Chechik shares is a stunning insight for other women."

Unknown Author

"Chechik is tough, smart, and brassy. She has written two books that, like her, pull no punches. She commands no less attention as a teller of a modern-day medical horror story."

Jackie Marchard

"Her books are must-reads for everyone...a woman of rare courage, a passion for life, and a 'not me, you don't' attitude toward justice."

Marjorie North

"Must reading for women of all ages. The story is raw, but told with a pureness of truth for the situation. [These books] give insight how to handle the situation and the importance of early detection."
