it's your body...ask! is a thorough first timers guide to understanding breast care. It's compact size, illustrations, and easy to follow format are definite assets.

I especially like the layout of the book- the three successive parts of the stages of diagnosing a possible problem. Additionally, the 1 - 5 ranking of information quality (like a Michelin Guide), as presented in answer to patient questions, is especially useful for me.

I will be happy to pass on the book to my sisters, sisters-in-law, and friends.

I found this book to be a very useful companion/complement to Dr. Susan Love's "Breast Book". It shines in its coherent explanations of the statisitical end of medicine for us laypeople (and patients) who want to understand what our "odds" are and why. Goodson writes like how you wished your own doctors could-or would- talk to you.

I wanted to know as much about this subject as I could learn quickly. I chose this book because it looked short and to the point. I found the information very thorough and all of the things I wanted to know were contained in the book...and some things I didn't know that I was glad to learn. I highly recommend this book to the healthy as well as the afflicted.

I found this book to be most informative for the "lay" person and clear and concise about the issue. It explained concerns that arise when confronted with the possibility and then the reality of breast cancer. There was a good mix of technical and factual.

The cover of the book especially attracted me to the book, as well as the size of the book (it was not overwhelming).
