I have read quite a lot of books on OC-mainly autobiographies.When I was diagnosed I looked on Amazon and read quite a lot.

The latest was a lady from Dundee which I read last year .

Take care.🌻🌻🌻

I thought that one was good too. Already read it-it may have been the first one I read.

Dr. Benigno is actually my doctor. He is the most caring and kind human being.

Lucky! I'm in NM and have Dr. Finklestein. My doctor recommended her and said she answered all her questions to her satisfaction. So I am pleased with my doctor so far. When I ask why something is being done they answer my questions also. Everyone seems to laugh a lot in the office-very good atmosphere.

Love,light and mermaid tails by Fi Munro.

It is good.

There are loads of autobiograhies just google them on Amazon.

Hope you find something suitable unless of course you want the medical ones .

Take care 🌾🍂

Mainly medical ones or autobiographies with good medical knowledge in them. I'm feeling pretty positive about my chances (and with stage 4 they aren't so good) but I think I will beat the odds. So I don't need so much uplifting (at least at this time; not sure how I will be if it recurs).

Read the one by Fi.She is extremely positive.

I think she was stage 4 as well and doing well .I met her at a Get Together Day where she gave a talk as well.

Take care 🌻🌻🌻
