Synopsis

Dr. Susan Loves Breast Book has long been the bible for the newly diagnosed. In this completely revised fifth edition, it also becomes a guide for those at risk of getting breast cancer, survivors interested in the consequences of their treatment, and anyone who wants to understand the new research about how the local environment influences the manifestations and treatments of many different kinds of breast cancer. Major advances being made in genetic research today mean that prevention and treatment can work not only to get rid of mutated cells (through chemotherapy or surgery) but also to change the environment around the cells (through hormone therapy, exercise, and stress reduction). Among other promising developments discussed are advances in imaging, recognition of breast density as a risk factor, and a section focused on personalized medicine to help determine what kind of cancer you have and how best to treat it.Any woman facing a diagnosis, decisions about treatment, or concerns about prevention will find in Dr. Loves book the information, guidance, and reassurance she needs.

Every doctor I saw told me to buy this book. At the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance, they'll give you a copy to borrow if you need one. I brought this with me to every appointment, used it to decipher every pathology report, and read some parts over and over again. Every woman should have this book-- d......more

Goodreads review by Amy on May 16, 2008

They don't refer to it as "the Bible for women with breast cancer" for nothing! Dr. Love deciphers difficult concepts, clearly explains risk (which I would venture to say 99% of society does not understand), and offers detailed information on the most recent studies (including the problems with each......more

Goodreads review by Km on October 12, 2015

I am reading the sixth edition, and I would recommend that only the most recent edition be used as a resource. The book is my go-to book, and I reference it continuously. It is well-organized, and the author writes with depth of knowledge, empathy, and a frankness that caring physicians bring to thei......more
