Self-Help
Dr. Susan Love’s Breast Book has long been the bible for the
newly diagnosed. In this completely revised fifth edition,
it also becomes a guide for those at risk of getting breast
cancer, survivors interested in the consequences of their
treatment, and anyone who wants to understand the new
research about how the local environment influences the
manifestations and treatments of many different kinds of
breast cancer. Major advances being made in genetic research
today mean that prevention and treatment can work not only
to get rid of mutated cells (through chemo or surgery), but
also to change the environment around the cells (through
hormone therapy, exercise, and stress reduction). Among
other promising developments discussed are advances in
imaging, recognition of breast density as a risk factor, and
a section focused on “personalized medicine” to help
determine what kind of cancer you have and how best to treat it. Any woman facing a diagnosis, decisions about treatment, or
concerns about prevention will find in Dr. Love’s book the
information, guidance, and reassurance she needs.
