Summary:
Elisa Port, Chief of
Breast
Surgery at the Mount Sinai Hospital, 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. 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, the author 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.
