Helping You Get The Information You Need

Sometimes the best way to get the answers you need, is to know what questions you need to ask. And, when faced with a life-altering, if not life-threatening, situation, like breast cancer, those questions may not be clear in your mind, or you may feel intimidated or overwhelmed. The book is broken into three sections: Talking With Your Medical Team, Choosing Treatments, Living Your Life--and each chapter in the sections has the best 10 questions for that specific subject, along with a "Magic" question that people don't think to ask, but wish they had later. All told, there are more than 200 questions from your initial diagnosis to telling your children about your diagnosis. Each question is also answered in general terms, with input from doctors, caregivers and breast cancer survivors, giving you direction to judge your doctors answers. Dealing with a cancer diagnosis isn't easy, /The 10 Best Questions for surviving Breast Cancer/ may make it less hard.
