Your Guide to Achieving Emotional Reconstruction®

About this book

BREAST CANCER IS NOT YOUR LIFE.

You hear the words of your diagnosis, “You have breast cancer.” Your anxiety is now reality.

Your world seems suddenly overwhelmed, unpredictable. With the jolting label you did not seek, breast cancer is now a part of your life.

Yet breast cancer is not your life.

MAKE SENSE OF YOUR DIAGNOSIS.

Call upon the strength of your femininity to gain information strength over the words you just heard.

TURN TO INTELLIGENCE.

Based upon decades of patient treatment and medical exper- tise—for the first time in a how-to source co-authored by patient and physician— The Breast Cancer Answers Book offers you wisdom into how “breast cancer” is in fact a variety of diseases, insight into your specific form of breast cancer, why time is your friend, your treatment choices, the roles of each doctor and professional on your medical team, and the power you possess in treating your disease and your body.

Answer your unasked question.

Just as you may be treated so that your breast is surgically recon- structed—how may you achieve Emotional Reconstruction® over breast cancer? Here for the first time is your answer.
