I received this book for review, and passed it on to a friend was undergoing treatment for breast cancer. She found it very useful and would highly recommend it! ( )Esta reseña ha sido escrita por los Primeros Reseñadores de LibraryThing. I was so glad to receive an Early Reviewer's copy of this book. Being a breast cancer survivor myself, I already have a wealth of knowledge on the topic. After reading this book, I must say that this is a very informative source for anyone who wants to learn more about breast cancer, as well as anyone (like myself) who hears those dreaded words herself. Rest assured that this book is one that you will refer to over and over again as you travel along this path. Knowledge is power, so arm yourself with all of the information that you can. Great book! Esta reseña ha sido escrita por los Primeros Reseñadores de LibraryThing. A fantastic book full of information. It lets you know there are options out there and there is not just one way to do things.Esta reseña ha sido escrita por los Primeros Reseñadores de LibraryThing. (Please note: I received an advanced reader's copy in exchange for an honest review)I was quite surprised had how accessible and engaging "The New Generation Breast Cancer Book" was for the lay person. Had it not been so, I would have skimmed it instead of reading it cover to cover. As a 53-year-old woman who has a direct family history of breast cancer, I go to my yearly mammograms with a bit of dread, anticipating bad news. This book gave me hope which I attribute to having more information now. It's very well written and I'm grateful to have it as a resource. Esta reseña ha sido escrita por los Primeros Reseñadores de LibraryThing. The New Generation Breast Cancer Book by Elisa Port, M.D. is an informative book for anyone with breast cancer or who has family and friends with it. My Mother was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer several years ago, now is battling Metastatic Breast Cancer, so this book was very interesting to me. The author covers all of these subjects, letting us know what to expect and what can be done.Each chapter can stand on it's own or can be read cover to cover. Easy to understand for the layperson. I recommend this book to anyone with a loved one battling this terrible disease or battling it themselves. I received an ARC (advanced reader's copy) from LibraryThing in exchange for my honest review. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
"From an expert in the field comes the definitive guide to managing breast cancer in the information age--a comprehensive resource for diagnosis, treatment, and peace of mind. The breast cancer cure rate is at an all-time high, and so is the information--and misinformation--available to patients and their families. Online searches can lead to unreliable sources, leaving even the most resilient patient feeling uneasy and uncertain about her diagnosis, treatment options, doctors, side effects, and recovery. Adding to a patient's anxiety is input from well-meaning friends and family, with stories, worries, and opinions to share, sometimes without knowing the details of her particular case, when in reality breast cancer treatment has gone well beyond a "one size fits all" approach. Elisa Port, MD, FACS, chief of breast surgery at The Mount Sinai Hospital and co-director of the Dubin Breast Center in Manhattan, offers an optimistic antidote to the ocean of Web data on screening, diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment. Inside you'll discover the various scenarios when mammograms indicate the need for a biopsy the questions to ask about surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, and breast reconstruction the important things to look for when deciding where to get care the key to deciphering complicated pathology reports and avoiding confusion the facts on genetic testing and the breast cancer genes: BRCA-1 and BRCA-2 the best resources and advice for those supporting someone with breast cancer From innovations in breast cancer screening and evaluating results to post-treatment medications and living as a breast cancer survivor, Dr. Elisa Port describes every possible test and every type of doctor visit, providing a comprehensive, empathetic guide that every newly diagnosed woman (and her family) will want to have at her side. Advance praise for The New Generation Breast Cancer Book "Elisa Port, M.D., is the doctor every patient deserves: brilliant and compassionate. Her book will be a sanity saver and, quite possibly, a life saver."--Geralyn Lucas, author of Why I Wore Lipstick to My Mastectomy "The New Generation Breast Cancer Book helps you sort through all the information you've gathered, make sense of the terminology, consider the options, and make the right decisions for your unique case."--Edie Falco "A lifeline for many women in need of today's most up-to-date choices for treatment. Everyone should read this book for themselves, their mothers, grandmothers, daughters, and friends."--Kara DioGuardi, Grammy-nominated songwriter, music executive, and Arthouse Entertainment co-founder"-- No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
