From the Author

You’ve heard the number often enough — “One out of eight women will get breast cancer in their lifetime.” Unfortunately, YOU are now that one out of eight. You certainly didn’t choose to be, but you are.

As such, here is the statistic that you should NOW focus on: More than 95 percent of women whose breast cancer is caught in its earliest stages will be healthy and disease-free five years after their diagnosis and treatment.

You already have at your disposal an extraordinary array of treatments, many of which did not exist a decade ago. It’s not just hype. It’s hope, and it’s here.

You may be facing a significant risk of breast cancer, or have possibly just been diagnosed. You may even be on the welcome road to recovery. Whatever the reason, you now have this book in your hands and have therefore taken an important first step. We are going to help you take many more.

5.0 out of 5 stars TERRIFIC!, September 24, 2001

By 

Phyllis Avedon - See all my reviews

This review is from: I Flunked My Mammogram! (Paperback)

"I think the book is terrific! When you're first diagnosed, you're in a state of shock. There are so many books out there, but many are too large, too technical. This book is concise. It has a sensible, relaxed way of dealing with the topic."

I have sent this book to numerous friends and associates affected with this disease. All found the book to be a helpful guide that they used to document doctor findings and their recommendations. This workbook with detailed instructions on how you can be the best advocate for your health. It helps women diagnosed with breast cancer to think as clearly as possible about the medical issues associated with their situation so they can make informed decisions about treatments

This review is from: I Flunked My Mammogram! (Paperback)

This book is essential for any woman diagnosed with breast cancer. On April 1, I received the news, I had breast cancer. In a matter of a few days, I needed to choose between a lumpectomy with radiation or a masectomy. The surgeon also talked about possible need for chemotherpy. It was overwhemling. A co-worker, diagnosesd with breast cancer four months preciously, handed me this book and told me to go home and read it before I made any decisions or saw my surgeon. The book takes only 2 to 3 hours to read and provided emought information for me to have a rational conversations about the choices with my surgeon and oncologist and to make the tough decision.

I friend of my was recently diagnosed with breast cancer. As soon as I read the news, I order this book and gave her the same advise. I also asked her to buy this book for any friend of hers diagnosed with breast cancer. My friend read the book and thanked me over and over again for the gift.
