First, You Cry...Anyone else remember this book? |
|
I remember reading it when I was 12 (and far too young to read that kind of stuff emotionally) and then re reading it when I hit thirty. Another poster's thread made me think of it. I really think it is a wonderful, and one of the first, firsthand accounts of surviving breast cancer. And, to this day, Betty Rollin is beautiful. :hi:

1. I remember the book and Betty Rollin's |
|
ongoing reports on breast cancer that she did for NBC Nightly News. And there was the TV movie with Mary Tyler Moore playing Rollins, but I did not see it.

3. I worked on the promotion for the book... |
|
and wrote a commercial for Betty to narrate. I was very nervous. She was very nice.

5. Though I didn't see the movie, I remember that the reviews |
|
were quite good of MTM's performance.
