5.0 out of 5 stars
Oncology nurse rates book for patient interest,
This review is from: Breast Cancer: Myths & Facts: What You Need to Know (Paperback)
This is an intelligently written and comprehensive book,for the lay person. It covers details about diagnosis, staging, surgery and reconstructive options. It includes excerpts from women who have experienced all stages of breast cancer. It comes across as supportive, but not condescending.I recommend it to all potential breast cancer patients as well as their families for written information which can be referred to again and again.
