Publisher's Synopsis
The only book that is multidisciplinary this is an ideal tool for nurse practitioners as well as doctors and patients. This book is not just a single author's opinion. It presents the combined expertise of dozens of recognised experts in surgery, oncology, radiation therapy, nurse practitioners and survivorship for a truly multidisciplinary overview of options. The information is presented in the order corresponding to the patient's course through treatment. It gives lists of questions to ask in order to optimise patient-doctor appointments. Its superb graphics help explain difficult concepts. When Dr. Lange's wife, also a physician, was diagnosed, both were overwhelmed by the complexity of the information they had to process. BE A SURVIVOR was inspired by their desire to make the journey easier for others. This book has been an award-winning bestseller, edition after edition and on the "recommended" lists of all major breast cancer organisations.
