Paperback. Etat : Good. This unique and important guidebook is a single, comprehensive source of information and advice to help women (and some men) at high risk for breast and for ovarian cancer because of family history and genetic profile. One part memoir, three parts how to manual, Positive Results explains in a clear and steady manner the myths and realities of the breast cancer genes. It lays out all the options in easy-to-follow, compassionate language. It will help women and men decide if they want to pursue genetic testing, guide them in interpreting their test results, and give them a sound basis for making the life-saving decisions required to manage their risks. Authors Joi Morris and Dr. Ora Karp Gordon cover all of the latest medical options, including genetic testing for breast cancer risk, breast cancer surveillance, assessing risk, mastectomy and breast reconstruction techniques, ovarian cancer surveillance, surgery, managing menopause, and cancer risks in men who carry mutations on BRCA genes. Along the way, Joi tells her personal story and that of other women and men who have made the gut-wrenching decisions required to survive in this world of astronomical risk. At the age of forty-two, Joi learned that she has a genetic mutation on a gene known as BRCA2. The test results meant that her risk of getting breast cancer could be as high as 84 percent by age seventy, and that her risk for ovarian cancer was also high. Compounding her risk was the fact that her mother had developed breast cancer in her forties. After much research and consultation, the result of which is this book, Joi made the difficult decision of undergoing prophylactic mastectomies. This straightforward and practical approach combined with the poignant personal experience of a woman at risk facing these challenging decisions will provide readers with the feeling that they have had the benefit of a long conversation with both a trusted physician and a friend who has just gone through the same uncertainties they are facing.…

Paperback. Etat : Good. Internationally acclaimed integrative medical oncologist James W. Forsythe, M.D., H.M.D., has praised Diana Warren for courage and tenacity in her arduous battle against Stage I breast cancer. Doctor Forsythe insists that Diana deserves kudos from people around the world, for refusing to subject her body to unnecessary standard chemo and radiation that unscrupulous allopathic oncologists kept trying to require her to endure. Featured in many hot-selling books written by others including media personality Suzanne Somers, and also the author of many successful books himself, Doctor Forsythe has hailed Diana for her dogged determination amid a non-stop quest to find effective natural, non-toxic treatments as her health deteriorated, while also hunting for an experienced doctor licensed to avoid high-dose poisonous options. I strongly recommend that everyone who suffers from cancer read Diana's compelling tale, Doctor Forsythe said. Today, Diana is playing a formidable role in helping to lead the way as a true champion in a quest to inform the public of the urgent need to avoid toxic treatments when feasible in certain circumstances, and how to find acceptable natural remedies-plus the importance of avoiding 'standard-of-care' chemo and radiation when under the care and guidance of a qualified, licensed medical professional. After reading many hundreds of books on cancer, Doctor Forsythe hails Diana's publication as being by far among the best from the viewpoint of a person who never attended medical school. Readers undoubtedly will benefit when learning of the exceptional example Diana has set for us all.…

Paperback. Etat : Very Good. Breast cancer survivor Patty Gelman recounts her journey through Cancer World in a series of anecdotes, chronicling her year-long struggle with the disease in an upbeat, colloquial, and often candidly funny way. Typical of her unyieldingly positive attitude is the way that Gelman breaks the news to her mother, also a cancer survivor: 'Well, it's my turn now ' Instead of keeping a journal during her treatment, Gelman preferred to share her experiences online, a choice she found surprisingly therapeutic. What started as periodic e-mails to family and friends soon developed into a book many cancer patients are turning to for hope. E-mails also served as an outlet and a built-in support group when her mother contracted lung cancer and passed on within the year. Gelman's story becomes larger than her disease, exploring the task of coping with the unexpected, and the value of family. Zemsky, Leslie (illustrateur).…

She was expecting the appointment to be routine. Cathleen was simply too busy for a result other than normal. But when she was told there was a mass and that she needed a biopsy, her life changed forever. Moments later, Cathleen sat in her car without any idea of how she got there. Her head hurt, she was having trouble breathing, and she needed her mom. In a poignant narrative, Cathleen discloses her journey through breast cancer from the moment she learned about the mass, through her treatments and ultimate healing, and the moment when she realized she was finally happy again.
