Book Cover & Preview Text
I wish I had had this book available to me when I began my breast cancer journey. Instead I spent hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars trying to discover the information that I needed in order to make the best possible decisions for my treatment and care. The intent of this book is to provide information in a clear and concise manner. If you want to know some of the facts - some of the options that others have tried - this book will be of help. Breast Cancer ? is a collection of information from mainstream, conventional (Allopathic) Western Physicians, from Holistic (a combination of Complementary and Alternative ideas) medical providers and from Integrative (using a combination of Western and Holistic Medical practices) medical practioners.

About the Book
Fantastic!! I would think this would be so helpful to other patients. You have many, many great points. Well done. Marcia Browne, M.D. Massachusetts General Hospital Cancer Center What does a woman think when the radiologist tells her that her mammogram looks suspicious and refers her to a surgeon? What does a woman do when a medical specialist uses terms she doesn’t understand? What are laymen’s terms for medical words used in reference to breast cancer? What can a woman do to help herself after a diagnosis of “infiltrating breast cancer”? After a diagnosis of infiltrating breast cancer Andrea did a great deal of research to find answers to these and many other questions. It is her hope that BREAST CANCER ? will help women have an easier journey than she did after hearing the terrifying words, “You have breast cancer”. This is her story from the process of diagnosis and treatment to being five years cancer-free.
