More About This Book

Overview

Recent research is rapidly changing the diagnosis, treatment, and outcomes of breast cancer. Just as women afflicted with or worried about breast cancer have turned to the earlier editions of Dr. Susan Love's guide for the soundest, most supportive advice, once again they will find all the help they need in this new edition. From guidance on screening techniques and benign disease to comprehensive and heartening advice on living with breast cancer, Dr. Love's book will be a priceless help to recovery on every level, medical, practical, and psychological. Once again readers will lean with gratitude on the extraordinary empathy and expertise in the book that Newsweek called "One of the most complete and trustworthy books ever published on breast cancer."

"...a premier resource updated to include the latest infor- mation on silicone implants, the reliability of mammograms & other imaging techniques, genectics, risk factors, hormone use, prevention of breast cancer, and much more."

Editorial Reviews

Book Review Digest
The information is accurate, complete, current, informative, and highly readable to the layperson as well as the professional caregiver.
Publishers Weekly
This second edition of Love and Lindsey's comprehensive 1990 title has been so thoroughly revised that, Love notes, only the anatomy chapter remains untouched: ``The breast, I'm glad to report, is still located on the chest!'' New information includes that on mammography screening, the breast cancer gene, the metastatic phase of breast cancer, the connection between mind and body, prevention and the importance of political awareness and action. Also updated are discussions of every conceivable aspect of the breast: from its health and development to such common concerns as normal tissue lumpiness and breast feeding, to issues surrounding breast cancer-its screening, diagnosis, causes, treatment, prevention and the directions of current research. Hormone therapy, silicone implants, breast biopsy, lumpectomy, reconstruction and bone-marrow transplants are also explained. With Lindsey (Friends as Family), Love, who is director of the Comprehensive Breast Center, associate professor of clinical surgery at UCLA School of Medicine and co-founder of the National Breast Cancer Coalition, offers a highly readable book that educates, supports and encourages women to become their own advocates of breast health.

    Unbelievably helpful!

    This book should be given to every patient diagnosed with breast cancer. You can read as much or as little as you want. It's good for those who want to know everything and also for those who just want to 'hunt and peck' for answers to some questions without being overwhelmed by it all. I can't begin to tell you how much it helped me and how much I admire this woman for the work she has done (and, No, I don't know her!)

    Highly Recommended

    This book was the most informative book on breast cancer that I found after being diagnosed in late 2011. Dr. Love covers all the new research and everything she mentioned was in concurrence with my specialist breast surgeon and oncologists for chemotherapy and radiation. Of special interest was the Onctotype DX test. I had it done and for my particular cancer it showed that chemotherapy would not benefit me. I encourage all newly diagnosed breast cancer patients to buy this book! READ IT COVER TO COVER... you won't regret being well informed by this highly respected doctor who has spent her life helping cancer research.

    If you only buy one breast cancer book, this should be the one.

    I found this book when I was treating for stage 3 inflammatory breast cancer. I bought several others at the time, but this is the one that answered my questions and helped me understand what was going on, what my options were, what to expect during treatment, etc. the best. I referred to it throughout my cancer and found it a valuable tool. That was 6 years ago. Since then I have purchased numerous copies for friends, relatives and acquaintances who have had to battle breast cancer. Every single one of them found it as useful as I did. I was glad to save them the research of finding the best book.

    A must read if you have Breast Cancer or someone you know is dealing with it.

    Susan's book helps you get a handle on what you have and what will come next with your diagnosis. Easy to read demystfies the medical terminology.
    If you want to understand and be proactive in your treatment, then this is the book to have with you. Use it as a resource and read the chapters you need today. You will refer to it often. Don't go through Breast Cancer without it.

    Excellent book

    An excellent book for any woman (or the family and friends of a woman) facing breast cancer. It's very informative and gives you details about what to expect as you go through the maze of doctors and tests from early detection to surgery and chemo and beyond. I didn't hear about the book until after I had surgery. I wish I had had it from the very first doctors visit. I highly recommend it.

    So useful!

    I was diagnosed with breast cancer and my doctor recommended I get this book to help take away the fear and mystery. Invaluable! I so highly recommend this book if you have been diagnosed with breast cancer.

    An excellent resource for any woman.

    I recommend it for any woman hoping to learn more about her own body. It helped me over a rough patch of uncertainty, when I had to have a couple of biopsies. Thank goodness that were benign.

    A Must have book for your Mammaries!

    This book is informative, educational, well worth whatever you pay for it. It will give you peace of mind, by answering so many questions, not only for you, but for teenagers. This has been a great resource handbook for many questions for tests, biopsies, all types of questions. Great book to have on hand! I hated going to the library for all this personal stuff all the time getting out different medical texts for any tests or biopsies. This answers just about everything, and has quite a few diagrams also. Great reference tool.-LeighCN
