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.
