Product Description
Recent research is rapidly changing the diagnosis, treatment, and outcomes of breast cancer. Just as women afflicted with or worried about breast cancer have turned to the earlier editions of Dr. Susan Love's guide for the soundest, most supportive advice, once again they will find all the help they need in this new edition. From guidance on screening techniques and benign disease to comprehensive and heartening advice on living with breast cancer, Dr. Love's book will be a priceless help to recovery on every level, medical, practical, and psychological. Once again readers will lean with gratitude on the extraordinary empathy and expertise in the book that Newsweek called "One of the most complete and trustworthy books ever published on breast cancer." |

Dr. Susan Love's Breast Book has been considered the bible of breast-care books since it appeared in 1990. In 1995, Love completely updated the book in a 600-page second edition, including new biopsy and screening methods, implants, the pros and cons of hormone therapy, new discoveries in breast-cancer treatment, and many other topics. Every chapter has been rewritten, with the exception of the anatomy chapter ("The breast, I'm glad to report, is still located on the chest!"). Love presents copious medical information in a simple, welcoming style, and plentiful illustrations make the information even clearer. About two-thirds of the book deals with breast cancer: risk factors, prevention, screening, diagnosis, staging, emotions, treatment options, surgery, alternative treatments, clinical trials, and more. But the book isn't just about breast cancer. It's also about breast development, physiology, bras, nursing, sexuality--if it has to do with breasts, Love discusses it. Love also debunks breast myths: underwire bras do not cause cancer, neither do bruises or injuries; "fibrocystic disease" isn't really a disease. The book includes a wealth of resources: books, treatment centers, and organizations (but no Web sites--perhaps in the third edition?). --Joan Price |

Absolute must if you have questions about your breast 
My husband and I both read Susan Love's outstanding book on breast cancer. It gave us answers in a language that we could understand and information we could not find anywhere else. An absolute must for any woman who has or thinks they have a problem with breast cancer.

Breast Cancer
This book was amazingly helpful. I read through the parts that pertained to me and found it very helpful. I would recommend it to anyone who is diagnosed with breast cancer. The information covered from diagnosed, surgery, treatment after, medications, and helpful hints on how to deal with each stage. A must book for breast cancer victims.

Dr. Susan Love's Breast Book
Truly the bible of information for any woman diagnosed with breast cancer. More information than, hopefully, you'll ever need while going through this.
Clear explanations aimed at the lay person to help them navigate through the breast cancer experience.
This Doctor left no stone unturned and no question unanswered. Easy cross-reference, some website references, statistical figures, drawings, and perfectly clear explanations.
This book is a MUST for anyone who has, or knows of someone who has, breast cancer.

Recommended by my breast surgeon 
I was recommended this book by my breast surgeon after she found a lump on my annual mammogram. It explained things very clearly and helped me to make wise choices regarding my care. Two thumbs up to Dr.Love

Good Comprehensive Guide and Reference
This book contains a wealth of important information to assist anyone facing breast cancer and trying to decide a course of treatment for themselves. It contains systematic soup to nuts from various treatments, reconstruction, recovery. However, other resources should also be utilized when ultimately making decisions on treatment and prevention.
