Publisher's Synopsis
Martha Grigg, author of BREAST CANCER AND YOU: BETTERING THE ODDS, takes a distinctly proactive approach to breast cancer. Leaving as little to chance as possible, she embarks on a two-pronged attack. One strategy is to research medical information about the disease, and the other strategy is to learn to deal effectively with the emotional fallout. Grigg takes her readers on a no-holds-barred roller coaster ride from initial shock to successful grappling with this insidious disease. In addition to addressing medical, emotional, pharmacological and therapeutic issues of breast cancer, the book wins high marks for the inclusion of a fine bibliography and index. The inclusion of these dimensions raises its value from supportive memoir to a solid reference work.
