My mother recently got diagnosed with breast cancer. The doctors seems to have found other possibly cancerous regions in her thyroid, uterus, and liver (not sure about this one). Despite the statistics the doctors are telling her, she is convinced that she is going to die. Both her mother and her sister had similiar battles with cancer and survived, so we are hoping for the best.

She just started chemotherapy and is absolutely hating the whole process. People have been giving her books to try to boost her confidence, but they all have some kind of religious undertone and this just makes her angry( she is agnostic and doesn't like people impressing their beleifs on her). So...

Anybody know any good books (with no religous undertones) for a woman who is fighting cancer?

Tuesdays With Morrie and The Five People You Meet In Heaven by Mitch Albom are great moral boosters and good reads too.
