Please help us welcome author Andrea Hutton on Wednesday July 29th. She'll be talking about her first book, "Bald Is Better With Earrings: A Survivor's Guide To Getting Through Breast Cancer".

When Andrea Hutton was diagnosed with breast cancer, she wanted to know everything. She voraciously read books, articles, and websites and talked to everyone she knew. But nothing prepared her for what the surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation would feel like. Were there tricks that could ease her pain and discomfort? What was “fatigue” and how would it affect her? At what exact moment would her hair fall out and how? Hutton wanted what she could not find: a clear how-to guide for the cancer girl she had become.

Bald is Better with Earrings is Hutton’s answer for women diagnosed with breast cancer: a straightforward handbook, leavened with humor and inspiration, to shepherd them though the experience. Warm and down-to-earth, Hutton explains what to expect and walks you through this intense and emotional process: tests, surgery, chemo, losing your hair and shaving your head, being bald, and radiation treatments.

Hutton offers a wealth of invaluable advice, from tricks for surviving chemo, to treating your skin during radiation, to keeping track of meds, and includes a practical list of tips for each stage of the process at the end of every chapter. Compassionate, friendly, and shaped by Hutton’s first-hand knowledge, Bald is Better with Earrings is the comprehensive, essential companion for anyone dealing with breast cancer.
