Product Description
In a valuable guide for women who have just been diagnosed with breast cancer, Dr. John Link helps sort through the confusion and the fear, by explaining such things as how to get a second opinion and how to understand a pathology report.Particularly valuable is Link's step-by-step description of how breast cancer is characterized, or staged, according to tumor size, hormone receptors, and other factors--and how that affects prognosis. As a breast cancer specialist at Long Beach and Orange Coast Memorial hospitals in Southern California, Link knows the medical jargon and what it means. Although his writing style is at times a bit jargony and difficult to read, a breast cancer patient will willingly read and reread every word. The book also includes useful chapters on diet, exercise, herbs, and vitamins; managing the side effects of treatment; healing's mind-body connection; and organizing medical records and keeping a personal journal or log.
Ending on an encouraging note, Link writes, "You should know that most women today are cured of breast cancer. They undergo treatment, become survivors, and go on with their lives. But having breast cancer is certainly a wake-up call to many and may be for you. Life now has added uncertainty." This step-by-step manual helps you navigate the uncertainty and become a survivor, both physically and psychologically.

on 2010-06-22THIS BOOK IS EASY TO READ AND VERY INFORMATIVE - I ONLY WISH I HAD PURCHASED THIS BOOK EARLIER.

on 2010-04-19I was impressed upon reading this book which details all the necessary diagnostic steps in living with breast cancer and how to battle and survive it. With breast cancer being a number one concern and evident in the family tree, this book has been encouraging and enlightening to cope, but with solid information, this book will help answer many questions, causes, and treatments clearly and consisely!
Rated
on 2010-03-18Good straightforward information from diagnosis to treatment options that covers the medical/technical aspects as well as the human/emotional component.
Rated
on 2009-09-17Clear, concise and poignant. I particularly like the diet and supplement section, along with the fact that this book is not stuck in a time-warp and is updated regularly with current standards of treatment (I couldn't help but notice people started posting reviews back in 1998 and I have a late 2007 version).
This is just what I needed to help me understand/get through what is going on, why chemo is indicated, what to expect and how I can be actively participating in my care and wellness (now and in the future). Wonderfully helpful!

on 2009-08-28This book was very informative after I was diagnosed with cancer of the breast. It describes in detail the types of cancer infiltrating the breast tissue and steps needed for treatment. Also recommended diet and exercise is included. This book is a must when dealing with this disease.
