Product Description

Review

"Library Journal," 8/2/10
"The woman who almost singlehandedly brought public attention to the mammillary part of our bodies keeps the updates coming. With studies and research advancing at warp speed, this latest tome addresses genetics, how the cell environment influences treatment, new imaging protocols, breast density considerations, and 'personalized medicine, ' approaching each woman's cancer individually. The review of the fourth edition said that no library should be without it. Ditto that."About.com "Twenty years after the first edition, Dr. Love writes with optimism about advances in the science of breast cancer diagnosis...She won't lead you astray. For newly-diagnosed breast cancer patients, this book is still a great guide." "Heart & Soul," November 2010"More than a bible for those newly diagnosed with breast cancer. It's now also a guide for survivors, those at risk and anyone who wants to understand the environmental connection."
Bookviews.com, October 2010"This is the bible on the topic... The sheer size of the book attests to the body of new knowledge that exists regarding prevention, diagnostic tools, and treatment options." "Los Angeles"" Times Magazine," October 2010"the seminal work for any woman facing the disease." "Washington"" Post," 10/12/10"I was impressed by how plainly and intelligently Love...presented the research findings about mammography.""
Dayton"" Daily News," 10/9/10"[Love is a] breast cancer guru.""
Northern Virginia Magazine," October 2010"comprehensive and candid."
Infodad.com, 10/14/10"For women who have breast cancer--or simply want to know more about it to help a friend or a relative manage it--there has been no better source for the past 20 years than "Dr. Susan Love's Breast Book."..[Love] gives information and advice in forthright, plainspoken language...There is simply no more clear-headed and comprehensive guide to this often devastating disease than "Dr. Susan Love's Breast Book," and the new edi

Product Description

Dr. Susan Loves Breast Book has long been the bible for the newly diagnosed. In this completely revised fifth edition, it also becomes a guide for those at risk of getting breast cancer, survivors interested in the consequences of their treatment, and anyone who wants to understand the new research about how the local environment influences the manifestations and treatments of many different kinds of breast cancer. Major advances being made in genetic research today mean that prevention and treatment can work not only to get rid of mutated cells (through chemo or surgery), but also to change the environment around the cells (through hormone therapy, exercise, and stress reduction). Among other promising developments discussed are advances in imaging, recognition of breast density as a risk factor, and a section focused on personalized medicine to help determine what kind of cancer you have and how best to treat it. Any woman facing a diagnosis, decisions about treatment, or concerns about prevention will find in Dr. Loves book the information, guidance, and reassurance she needs.

Format:Paperback
Many books on breast cancer paint a rosy picture and portray how women make a marvelous recovery from breast cancer. This book tells it how it is. It explains everything you could possibly want to know from pre-diagnosis, surgery, chemo, radiation, how you are feeling etc. I bought loads of books on breast cancer and this book is by far the most informative. A fantastic reference book.

As a second stage breast cancer patient diagnosed in l997, I have found this book to be a fount of information. I have bought several copies for other members of my family, male and female. I strongly urge everyone to read this volume. I find myself referring back and rereading the book many, many times. Dr. Susan Love has done a great service in writing and publishing this complete and easy to understand book. Thank-You Dr. Love
