This book from the Johns Hopkins University Press is one of the best I have read introducing women diagnosed with breast cancer to the treatment options they will have. It is concise and direct—just what a woman needs when she is faced with making decisions about treatment options that affect her future. The first third of the book consists of articles by medical specialists covering all aspects of breast cancer: the many decisions a patient will have to make, a discussion of what breast cancer is, a discussion of statistics and how they relate to the cancer patient. Other chapters deal with who is on the patient’s treatment team, what kinds of surgery the patient will face and what to expect, the role of radiation, local, hormonal therapies and chemotherapy, mastectomy and breast reconstructions. About one third of the book is written by cancer survivors who tell about their experiences. And finally, the authors of this book offer psychological support to help the patient navigate the whirlwind of emotions that she may be feeling. ( ) aucune critique | ajouter une critique
A diagnosis of breast cancer can be overwhelming. The disease is frightening and the medical landscape confusing. In the wake of fear and confusion comes the need to make decisions about treatment. This book provides women with medically reliable and up-to-date information to help them with these decisions. Within these pages is a team of private consultants--including surgeons, medical oncologists, radiologists, plastic surgeons, and women who have faced breast cancer--each of whom offers sound advice and valuable insight. In addition to describing surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, hormone therapy, and breast reconstruction, the medical experts clarify choices and offer support, while breast cancer survivors tell their own stories of pain, perseverance, and triumph. Choices in Breast Cancer Treatment is a rare blend of medical expertise and compelling personal accounts that empowers those with breast cancer to meet the disease with confidence, knowledge, and hope.
