Paperback. Condizione: Good. This unique and important guidebook is a single, comprehensive source of information and advice to help women (and some men) at high risk for breast and for ovarian cancer because of family history and genetic profile. One part memoir, three parts how to manual, Positive Results explains in a clear and steady manner the myths and realities of the breast cancer genes. It lays out all the options in easy-to-follow, compassionate language. It will help women and men decide if they want to pursue genetic testing, guide them in interpreting their test results, and give them a sound basis for making the life-saving decisions required to manage their risks. Authors Joi Morris and Dr. Ora Karp Gordon cover all of the latest medical options, including genetic testing for breast cancer risk, breast cancer surveillance, assessing risk, mastectomy and breast reconstruction techniques, ovarian cancer surveillance, surgery, managing menopause, and cancer risks in men who carry mutations on BRCA genes. Along the way, Joi tells her personal story and that of other women and men who have made the gut-wrenching decisions required to survive in this world of astronomical risk. At the age of forty-two, Joi learned that she has a genetic mutation on a gene known as BRCA2. The test results meant that her risk of getting breast cancer could be as high as 84 percent by age seventy, and that her risk for ovarian cancer was also high. Compounding her risk was the fact that her mother had developed breast cancer in her forties. After much research and consultation, the result of which is this book, Joi made the difficult decision of undergoing prophylactic mastectomies. This straightforward and practical approach combined with the poignant personal experience of a woman at risk facing these challenging decisions will provide readers with the feeling that they have had the benefit of a long conversation with both a trusted physician and a friend who has just gone through the same uncertainties they are facing.…

Paperback. Condizione: Good. Cancer is a unique disease on many fronts. The newly diagnosed cancer sufferer is awash in a wide range of emotions crashing in on a daily basis in the early stages of diagnosis and treatment. Fear is the constant companion while all the time they are subject to be being overwhelmed with new information, their minds muddled as they attempt to absorb diagnoses, pathology, a treatment plan, and their prognosis. As they enter the new world of cancer treatment, cancer patients may find side effects that can rival the disease itself in life-altering severity. In the worst stages of the treatment patients indeed feel as if they are indeed dying. Every person's cancer and treatment is unique to them personally, but cancer sufferers do share common feelings and responses. They speak the same language. They find that they belong to a new people group. Connecting with other cancer sufferers can be a game-changer. Finding someone who has felt what they feel, and understands what they are going through, can be their emotional lifesaver. Cancer patients will find themselves and their personal cancer journey mirrored on the pages of this book. They will: - Recognize the emotions that are uniquely common to the cancer sufferer. - Learn practical and helpful information about ways of navigating through cancer treatment. - Be strengthened in their faith as they learn to recognize the presence of Christ with them in the cancer storm. - Find new ways to receive and embrace God's promise that he will take every crisis, even cancer, and turn it into something good in their behalf. Gold in the Road provides a fresh perspective not only on surviving a cancer storm but becoming victorious in right the midst of it. Because Gold in the Road rides on the story of a seasoned woman pastor, it reveals personal vulnerability as well as spiritual depth by: - Revealing the author's chronological journey through early symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment, including double mastectomy, chemotherapy, and radiation - and all the tumult that goes with being a cancer sufferer. - Sharing the author's emotional and spiritual insights on suffering with cancer, and the ways she navigated through her life-threatening storm lasting for more than a year, changing the direction of her life forever. - Providing hope and practical advice that even in the worst storms of life, Christ's presence makes all the difference, not only in surviving the storm but in finding gold in the road even in right the middle of the valley of the shadow of death. While the book is written from a Christian perspective, readers may include anyone who seeks to find God's presence in a seemingly dark and hopeless situation. Even those who have suffered cancer in the past will find emotional healing for them on its pages. Friends, family, pastors, and doctors and nurses, will want to share this book of hope and deliverance.…
