HARRISBURG, Pa., Nov. 8, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- "Pink Ribbon Stories: A Celebration of Life" (ISBN 978-0-9701379-7-5) by 10-year breast cancer survivor Tammy Miller offers hope and laughter from personal stories of battling breast cancer. Miller compiled over 120 entries from women and men whose lives have been touched by breast cancer.
Throughout her own diagnosis, Miller used her sense of humor on her journey. She went through her first breast cancer surgery wearing a clown nose and shoes while carrying a kazoo. For her second, she wore a pink feather boa. Miller's sense of humor and optimism made her journey a memorable one for those around her.
Referencing "Pink Ribbon Stories," Miller says "there are stories that will warm your heart; make you laugh; cause you to pause for reflection; and others that simply tell a story of a courageous journey through life. There are words and stories to encourage, inspire and make you smile. This book is one way I can show those who are battling breast cancer that they are not alone."
"Pink Ribbon Stories: A Celebration of Life" is available online at http://pbcc.me/PinkRibbonStories or through your favorite e-reader's store. Proceeds benefit the PA Breast Cancer Coalition.
