A concise and practical guide to taking care of your breasts. Articles discuss self-examination, finding a lump, operative procedures, treatment after surgery, breast cancer and the sensual self, and how men suffer too. Guidelines for breast health and prevention of breast cancer are also given.

Plus foreword by Dr Diana Tait of the Royal Marsden NHS trust, glossary, directory of contacts, and further reading.
“Full of clear, calm information. An inspiring book.”
GLASGOW HERALD
“Most of us don’t know anything about breast cancer. That’s why this book – covering everything from the basic to the technical, as well as first-hand accounts – is so welcome.”
TIME OUT
“Lost of down-to-earth information and advice; will help remove some of the fears around breast cancer.”
