LIVING THROUGH BREAST CANCER

HealthText Audio scores another excellent audio program with Dr. Kaelin's personal and professional breast cancer guide. Her own experience treating breast cancer as a surgeon and surviving the disease herself give the program an authoritative yet empathetic tone. Narrator Bernadette Dunne assumes the author's voice completely, making good use of pacing and emphasis to build a wonderfully clear, informative, and approachable discussion. She maintains Kaelin's informed voice but stays conversational through the very specific topics of variations of the disease and treatments. The evolution of research and care of breast cancer continues, and Kaelin's program offers very up-to-date opinions, incorporating developments and protocols accepted through 2005.
