One in eight American women will learn that she has breast cancer. While survival rates are improving, the diagnosis still wreaks havoc on their lives and families. A complex illness, breast cancer affects all aspects of a woman's life: her physical health and future wellbeing, her primary relationships, her children, her self-esteem, her sexuality.

This informative book serves to enlighten and empower women who have breast cancer, while providing valuable information and insight for those who love them. The book's topics include:

  • Finding out you have breast cancer
  • How to get help and find information
  • Working with your doctor

  • Treatment options: surgery, chemotherapy, radiation
  • Physical side effects of treatment
  • Nurturing yourself and your relationships
  • Follow-up care
  • What to expect after treatment ends

Written with honesty and compassion, this book offers women and those who love them a blueprint for taking a proactive part in their treatment and healing.
