"Lillie's background as an RN, her compassion and commitment as a survivor and her ability to give hope through humor is indeed a precious gift to me, my family and friends. You will enjoy this book."
-- Faye Hoffmeyer, breast cancer survivor
"With only 24 hours in each day, unfortunately Lillie Shockney is unable to take direct care of the whole world. But thank goodness for this wonderful book! Now everyone can benefit from Mrs. Shockney's unique and powerful care, kindness, and sense of humor which is woven into each page of this terrific book."
--Marisa Weiss, MD, President and Founder, breastcancer.org
Navigating Breast Cancer and Stealing Second Base provide exactly what a woman with a diagnosis of breast cancer needs: good, solid detailed information coupled with encouragement. I would gladly recommend them to any woman facing breast cancer.”
-William R. Brody
President, Johns Hopkins University

--Jeanne Kirk, BSN, RN
Breast Health Specialist
Community Hospital Anderson
"Lillie Shockney should be a breast cancer stand-up comic! Her tales about her battle with the disease (and her nursing work with breast cancer patients) are hilarious -- and incredibly helpful, as she shares her insights into treatment, reconstruction, and the art of coping."
--Marc Silver, Editor, npr.org,
author of Breast Cancer Husband:How to Help Your Wife (and Yourself) Through Diagnosis, Treatment, and Beyond
