Riassunto

This lucid step-by-step guide has established itself as the indispensable book women need to make informed decisions about the care that is right for them.

Breast cancer will strike one out of every eight women in the United States. From the moment the disease is suspected, women are called upon to make numerous choices under intense stress, and none of them should go it alone. The completely revised fourth edition of this invaluable handbook, long praised for helping women manage every stage of treatment and recovery, includes the many modifications and advances in the rapidly changing field of breast cancer diagnosis, treatment, and prevention.
