Synopsis

Exploring the emotional and medical aspects and everything the Author wish she had known when first diagnosed, the book is designed to help anybody with a primary Triple Negative Breast Cancer. The book takes the reader from diagnosis, through to treatment and beyond in an easy to read format, broken down into sections with illustrations and photographs.

Diagnosis:

The shock of finding out you have breast cancer, and then being told it's Triple Negative, can be confusing and worrying. You may be bombarded with information, but also have a long list of questions. Taking the stress out of finding answers, the book starts by demystifying breast cancer, how it begins, understanding Triple Negative, and why it's different to other types of breast cancer. With this knowledge, it will help to understand your own diagnosis, and hopefully, you'll feel better informed for any meetings with your oncologist or surgeon.

Treatment:

What should you expect from surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy? The book guides you from the point of diagnosis, helping you to prepare, and understand the process including typical timelines and treatments. Each section is broken down, so you know what to expect and when. Simply understanding what's to come, can help take the fear out of the unknown. Read real-life stories from Triple Negative breast cancer patients who discuss their treatment, surgery, what they had, and why.

Recovery & Beyond:

Treatment has finished and it's the day you've waited for, but what now? How long is recovery and what should you expect? As you emerge out of the hospital bubble, you enter the most challenging time because life can feel different. You may feel anxious and apprehensive, scared that cancer may come back. The book discusses what you might expect, the ongoing aches and pains that cause concern and what you can do to help yourself. Your future may be a little different, but there's no reason why Triple Negative can't be a part of your past.

The book contains treatment regimes specifically for the UK, but all other information is relevant to anybody with a Triple Negative Breast Cancer worldwide.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Diagnosed with Triple Negative breast cancer in 2016, the author was plunged into an unfamiliar world of medical tests, terminology, and treatments. Frustratingly, she was unable to find a "one stop shop" for all the questions she had from a patient's perspective. Realising that a platform was needed for patients to go to for answers, she decided to write a book to take the fear out of the unknown and in 2022 A Survivor's Guide to Triple Negative Breast Cancer was born.
