Book overview

From America's best-known authority on women's health, a new edition of the book the New York Times calls "the Bible for women with breast cancer". . The landscape of breast cancer has changed. New, non-invasive diagnostic techniques, new knowledge about prevention, new genetics, new treatments, new alternative and complementary resources are beginning to turn breast cancer into a chronic and perhaps preventable disease. Dr. Susan Love, whose earlier work has won the trust of women all over this country and abroad, has entirely revised her indispensable guide to reflect the very latest information. Readers of Dr. Susan Love's Breast Book will learn of the recent breakthroughs in genetic research, of Dr. Love's own work in developing a less invasive and highly accurate diagnostic technique, of the latest studies into preventive measures such as tamoxifen and dietary strategies, and of promising outcomes from new treatments for metastatic cancer. In the same warm, supportive, and often delightfully candid tone that has brought confidence to millions of women, Dr. Love helps each reader plan her own path through diagnosis, treatment options, and the changing world of HMO's and insurance. She also offers sound advice about combining alternative self-care with topnotch medical help.

    I can't recommend this book too highly. I am in the middle of cancer treatment and this book is proving invaluable in making informed choices about the treatments I need to have. There is so much spurious information about cancer out there, that it's hard to see the wood for the trees. I have also found that those in the medical profession are not necessarily as up to date as I would like them to be. This book covers everything you might need to know and unusally for a book of its type, is written in a clear and interesting style.

    I've been reading this book -each new addition- for the 20 years I've been living with breast cancer. It never fails - little wobbles and new diagnoses, it always allows me space to read up, take a deep breath and stop panicking.
    This book doesn't treat cancer but it really supports the person with cancer. I absolutely love it and recommend it if you're interested in the biology and understanding how cancer works.

    The most informative and detailed book anyone who has been diagnosed with breast cancer could read! It really is the "bible of breast cancer". Dr Susan covers everything good and bad, she does not mince words or flower it up. Fabulous!

    This book is excellent, brilliant reference and so cheap. A friend of mine had the 3rd edition and learned much more about her illness from the 5th edition. As a direct result of this book she knew to ask for core biopsy and not just a biopsy. The core takes longer so unless you know about it it is not offered to breast cancer patients. The book is very up to date with the latest medications etc. It has helped to keep my friend keep fully informed about her cancer and know what treatments to ask for. I have not read it yet but from what she tells me it is the best book on the market for breast cancer. Easy to understand explanations and gives you questions to ask your oncologist.

    Just what I needed after a shock diagonsis of breast cancer - information relayed in a detailed and scientific way which is clear but does not talk down to the reader. So much that is written on the subject is so "gentle" and simple that it is not useful. This book tells it as it is - don't read it if you are not prepared to face facts. But armed with this information you are empowered to beat the cancer. An invaluable reference book. It will be my companion throughout the chemo, surgery and radiotherapy for which I am scheduled.

    This book was my 'bible' through my breast cancer and Chemo and radiotherapy treatments and even now I look in it for information about my tablets alternatives and side effects. It had in it everything I needed to know for every stage of treatment I was going through. I would certainly recommend this book.

    This is an excellent book, and well worth reading. But it's probably the second book to read, behind "The Breast Cancer Survival Manual : A Step-By-Step Guide for the Woman With Newly Diagnosed Cancer" by John Link. My wife was diagnosed with breast cancer on January 5th of this year. Fortunately, she found it herself, through self-checking, and we live in an area where two of the world's best breast cancer treatment groups are located - the Breast Care Center in Orange, CA and the Memorial Care group in Long Beach. As of yesterday, we were fortunate to discover that, eleven months later, through a combination of surgeries and chemotherapy, the scans that were done last week on the liver, lungs and bones all came back negative, so we hope to have many more years together. Dr. John Link is the friend of a friend and we consulted with him on treatment. As part of the consultation, he also gave us a copy of his book, which is very readable and understandable. It's particularly good at giving guidance on how to put together a treament program that's right for you as an individual. The Susan Love book is excellent, particularly as a reference for all the information you want to know when your life or the life of someone you love is at risk. The difference between the two is that the Link book provides a great overview and a guide for getting treatment, and the Love book is the reference for all the stuff that you want to look up when you have a question. And if you're like us, you'll have lots of questions because this is all very complex and it's very difficult to decide on what the best approach will be for your individual situation.

    I am a physicist (not a physician) and know little about the field of medicine. When my wife was diagnosed with breast cancer at a young age, I wanted to understand all about the disease both for aiding in her treatment decisions and for educating my 4 year old daughter, who is now at risk. This book includes the standard "How the breast works", "Diagnosing cancer", "Treatment of cancer" chapters to guide people through the shock and emotional decision making required before surgery and help make decisions regarding chemo and radiation therapies. These are invaluable resources for anyone who wants more understanding than what is provided through a chat with their surgeon or oncologist or the thin pamphlets received at the hospital. The real value of this book, however, that sets it apart for all others, are the deep and rich chapters about other aspects of the breast and cancer. In particular, this book has a chapter on breast augmentation, which was recommended to us after a mastectomy; a chapter on how cancer occurs on a genetic DNA level; a chapter on cancer prevention for my daughter; and a chapter on clinical trials - what they are, which might you choose, and how should you evaluate them. In short, this book has been valuable resource in making short term treatment decisions and looks to be a valuable resource in future years. I eagerly await the 4th edition, though I don't know when or if it is coming.
