The
Breast Cancer Survivor Manual - John Link, M.D.
In the Breast Cancer Survival Manual, a valuable guide for women who have just
been diagnosed with breast cancer, Dr. John Link helps sort through the confusion
and the fear, by explaining such things as how to get a second opinion and how
to understand a pathology report. As a breast cancer specialist at Long Beach
and Orange Coast Memorial hospitals in Southern California, Link knows the medical
jargon and what it means. The book also includes useful chapters on diet, exercise,
herbs, and vitamins; managing the side effects of treatment; healing's mind-body
connection; and organizing medical records and keeping a personal journal or log.

Living
Beyond Breast Cancer - Marisa C. Weiss, M.D., and Ellen Weiss
Living Beyond Breast Cancer: A Survivor's Guide for When Treatment Ends and the
Rest of Your Life Begins has won endorsements from both Bernie Siegel and former
surgeon general C. Everett Koop. It deftly and with compassion maps out a guide
for going back to a "normal" life: for handling fears of recurrence
and worries that family members will develop breast cancer and for managing physical
posttreatment problems, including the lingering side effects of radiation, fertility
difficulties, changes in sex drive, and feelings of unattractiveness.-Amazon.com
