All the advice a woman will need to be her own best advocate This is the first book the 250,000 women each year who are diagnosed with breast cancer will buy to help them make informed, intelligent choices on the course of treatment that lies ahead. Dr. Link provides authoritative, hard-hitting medical advice on: * whether mastectomy or breast conservation and radiation is the right choice
* when the systematic spread is sufficient to justify chemotherapy
* getting a second opinion without offending treating doctors
* how to interpret a pathology report
* weighing risk factors
* managing side effects
* optimizing diet and medication
* using nonconventional treatment methods such as herbs and the mind/body connection
* how to get the best overall care from healthcare providers Written by one of the foremost breast cancer experts in the country, this guide provides the most up-to-date information available on the disease and its treatment, and is a must-have for all women recently diagnosed.

Summary: The Breast cancer survival manual
Comment: This book has helped me in my treatment choices. I love the lay out and the real world information. Not scary just the facts no hearts and flowers. I have only just begun my battle with breast cancer. But this book lives in my bag that goes with me every where, doctor visits and just out to lunch. I find myself reaching for it to clarify info from doctors and to help friend and family to understand my treatment and options.
This is a must read for breast cancer families.

Summary: An absolute must-have for anyone diagnosed with b.c.
Comment: When I was diagnosed in 2005, I was absolutely overwhelmed with fear, information, and decisions. This book is the only one I found that made sense to me. It is clear, concise, and very encouraging. Dr. Link's approach is from a place of genuine respect and regard, and he knows exactly what survivors need to know right away. Reading this book really helped me make the best treatment decisions for myself, with the best information available. The book teaches survivors (who for the most part are not medical professionals, but will unfortunately have to get to that level pretty quickly) how to read pathology reports, and helps you formulate the questions you need to have answered to make your choices. I recommend it to everyone I know who is newly diagnosed.

Summary: Breast Cancer Survival Guide
Comment: Very good basic guide for one suffering from breast cancer, one problem was that it was 8 years outdated. Would have been better had it been updated, new treatments are always being discovered. It was a good overview, though.

Summary: The Breast Cancer Survival Manual
Comment: A book for those who are newly diagnosed with cancer. The book describes in detail the different stages of breast cancer. It also discusses how individuals should see doctors for a second opinion. Another great part about the book is the differences in opinion about how to manage breast cancer, and the different paths to take.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Usefull general info
Comment: I bought this book when my mother was diagnosed with breast cancer. The first advice it gives was a breath of fresh air in the middle of a maelstrom. It simply said "you have time." It also gives great advice on second opinions. Besides this first advice the book is filled with general information written in easy to understand english. Some of the info applies some of it doesn't, everyones cancer is different. I greatly recomend this book to all those of us faced with this challenge. It provides you with the information doctors usually don't take the time to give you. A must read before your next doctors visit. One caveat: if you are looking for a feel good read this is not it... this is a serious book of medical information.
