"If The Battle Is Over Why Am I Still In Uniform? is filled with wit, wisdom, and the stark realities of cancer. I laughed often and my eyes misted more than once. It is a well-written book of one woman's cancer reality. It is also the story of that woman's determination to grow old with her husband and meet her grandchildren." -- From the "Armchair Interviews" review by Andrea Sisco. Read the full review.
"Your book was wonderful in every way. I experienced sadness, joy, humor and reflected upon my own journey with cancer. Thank you for writing this special story." -- Marcia A.
"Your book was so funny and sensitive to the issues faced by cancer survivors. It is a gem. I think humor is a critical survival tool. A word of caution: If you read books in public places, like on the bus or in waiting rooms, you may find yourself getting a few amused looks because the book is likely to cause you to laugh out loud. I laughed so hard in some places that my family wondered about me." -- Angela M.

What you have accomplished with this book is so impressive because it's factual, it's honest, and it's compelling, straightforward and funny.
