Editorial Review:
Product Description:
This medical handbook serves as an accessible resource for answering the questions of women with breast cancer as well as easing the concerns of their spouses and family members. Drawing on the personal experiences of a breast-cancer survivor and the professional expertise of breast-cancer specialists, this guide outlines the various treatment options for cancer patients—including lumpectomy and mastectomy surgeries, radiation treatment, and chemotherapy—both in terms of how they work and the toll they take on a patient’s life. Updated information and photographs on breast reconstruction are included along with a complete list of resources and an open discussion of hereditary and reoccurrence risks.

- this book is greatdr. braddock was able to utilize her own experiences of battling (and surviving!) this disease to help others in a similar situation. she saw a need for a simple, easy to understand text to inform and inspire both those living with breast cancer and their loved ones. as a woman (and as her daughter) i am so proud to see someone turning her own life experience into such a positive and constructive resource.

- updated regularly - last one just outthis book has been the most satisfying effort of my life - we update its content every year or so as new information come out, and that last update was just accomplished. Over 30,000 copies have been sold throughout the country, and we hear from so many women whom it has helped cope with the diagnosis. Thank you, all of you. Wishing you peace and joy.
