Women continually tell me what a great resource this book is! Written in terms that individuals can understand, it addresses physical, psychological, emotional and spiritual aspects of the experience in depth. I feel confident when I give a woman this book that she has access to a wealth of information.

Your Breast Cancer Treatment Handbook has been called the most effective and empowering breast cancer book both by patients and healthcare professionals. This valuable book is designed for the newly diagnosed breast cancer patient. It provides the patient with current, easy-to-understand explanations of procedures and treatments; decision making guidelines; and inspirational encouragement as the patient progresses through the breast cancer experience. No treatment advice is given, allowing the treatment team and the patient to work as partners for the final treatment decisions. Survivors' reassuring remarks appear throughout the book to offer support and encouragement.
