A Note from Barbara Delinsky About UPLIFT: Secrets from the Sisterhood of Breast Cancer Survivors

Breast cancer has been a player in my life since my childhood, when my mother was diagnosed with the disease. In 1994, I was diagnosed myself. Fortunately, my cancer was caught early, picked up by a mammogram well before it was palpable. Being a private person, I told no one other than my family and a handful of friends.

Several years later, though, after readers went wild over a breast cancer survivor in Coast Road, I had an epiphany. I realized that, as a writer, I had the ears of millions of women. Telling them that I've had breast cancer and that I've recovered and am now stronger than ever—that’s a powerful message.

So I went public with my book, UPLIFT: Secrets from the Sisterhood of Breast Cancer Survivors, and have donated every cent of my proceeds to breast cancer research. To date, I've been able to fund four years of a breast surgery fellowship at Massachusetts General Hospital. This fellowship trains surgical oncologists in research, hopefully offering returns in breast cancer research for decades to come.

This special book, UPLIFT: Secrets from the Sisterhood of Breast Cancer Survivors, includes words from me and from 370+ other survivors. It is a tribute to positive thinking – a support group that offers all the practical little secrets to survival that friends tell friends, co-workers, lovers. As support groups go, it is unique in that it can be joined in total privacy and consulted at any time of day or night.
