Breast Cancer - The Essential Guide

Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women in

the UK; there are approximately 45,000 new cases every

year. A new diagnosis can be very frightening and many

people will have no prior knowledge of the disease.

This book is for women and their families who are looking for a

comprehensive but plain language guide to breast cancer and

its treatments. Many people find that doctors, although highly

qualified and well meaning, can forget how little the layperson

knows about medical procedures and terminology. Starting with

the basics, this guide will look at what breast cancer is and how

it's diagnosed, right through to support options, the treatment

available and how to care for your carers. The emotional aftereffects

of being a survivor are also covered in detail.

Written by a survivor of breast cancer and peer reviewed by

a breast cancer specialist, this book will provide everything

women need to know about breast care, being diagnosed with

breast cancer and the road to recovery.
