A Woman's Decision (Quality Medical Home Health Library)

"This remarkable and informative book..will help women deal with the fear and reality of breast cancer by enabling them to become informed participants in the treatment planning process." --Charles M. Balch, M.D., City of Hope "A timely book that should be read by every woman." --"Los Angeles Times Book Review"

A woman's decision is an extraordinarily sensitive and authoritative book that will help women assess their options, familiarize themselves with the techniques used in treating breast cancer, and prepare themselves for what to expect medically and emotionally from reconstructive surgery. It combines complete and fully updated medical information with a detailed look at the emotional issues a woman must face when confronting breast cancer. Especially reassuring are the interviews conducted with women and their loved ones, discussing feelings and reactions at every stage, including the decision to seek reconstructive surgery.
