New York : Ballantine Books, c2015. Subjects Breast -- Cancer.   Breast -- Cancer -- Treatment.   Women -- Health and hygiene. ISBN:  9781101883150 (paperback) : 1101883154 (paperback) Description:  xix, 298 pages ; 24 cm Requests:  0 Summary:  "From an expert in the field comes the definitive guide to managing breast cancer in the information age--a comprehensive resource for diagnosis, treatment, and peace of mind. The breast cancer cure rate is at an all-time high, and so is the information--and misinformation--available to patients and their families. Online searches can lead to unreliable sources, leaving even the most resilient patient feeling uneasy and uncertain about her diagnosis, treatment options, doctors, side effects, and recovery. Adding to a patient's anxiety is input from well-meaning friends and family, with stories, worries, and opinions to share, sometimes without knowing the details of her particular case, when in reality breast cancer treatment has gone well beyond a "one size fits all" approach. Elisa Port, MD, FACS, chief of breast surgery at The Mount Sinai Hospital and co-director of the Dubin Breast Center in Manhattan, offers an optimistic antidote to the ocean of Web data on screening, diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment. Inside you'll discover the various scenarios when mammograms indicate the need for a biopsy the questions to ask about surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, and breast reconstruction the important things to look for when deciding where to get care the key to deciphering complicated pathology reports and avoiding confusion the facts on genetic testing and the breast cancer genes: BRCA-1 and BRCA-2 the best resources and advice for those supporting someone with breast cancer From innovations in breast cancer screening and evaluating results to post-treatment medications and living as a breast cancer survivor, Dr. Elisa Port describes every possible test and every type of doctor visit, providing a comprehensive, empathetic guide that every newly diagnosed woman (and her family) will want to have at her side."--Provided by publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Copy Status Due Date   Hanapepe Public Library Adult Nonfiction 616.99449 Po   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hawaii Kai Public Library Adult Nonfiction 616.99449 Po   Checked out 06/07/2024 Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Business, Science & Technology 616.99449 Po   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 616.99449 Po 2015 Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kihei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 616.99449 Po   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Waialua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 616.99449 Po   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList
