Book Overview
A good mind knows the right answers...but a great mind knows the right questions. And never are the Best Questions more important than after a diagnosis of breast cancer. Drawing on cutting-edge research and original interviews -- including with former surgeon general C. Everett Koop, bestselling author Dr. Susan Love, well-known breast cancer survivors like Betty Rollin, and experts at the top cancer-care centers in the world -- The 10 Best Questions(TM) for Surviving Breast Cancer is a guide you'll take with you into your doctor's office and keep close to you through every step of your treatment and recovery. In addition to the medical questions, you'll also learn what you need to ask your friends, colleagues, and loved ones so that the rest of your life doesn't take a backseat to your diagnosis: "How many days I can afford to be out?" (p. 211) "What questions are my children likely to ask?" (p. 261) "When will I be comfortable being intimate again with my partner?" (p. 234)
With a wealth of resources and up-to-the-minute information, The 10 Best Questions(TM) for Surviving Breast Cancer shows you how to move past a scary diagnosis and use the power of questions to become your own best advocate for your emotional, mental, physical, and financial health.

And, when faced with a life-altering, if not life-threatening, situation, like breast cancer, those questions may not be clear in your mind, or you may feel intimidated or overwhelmed. The book is broken into three sections: Talking With Your Medical Team, Choosing Treatments, Living Your Life--and each chapter in the sections has the best 10 questions for that specific subject, along with a "Magic" question that people don't think to ask, but wish they had later. All told, there are more than 200 questions from your initial diagnosis to telling your children about your diagnosis. Each question is also answered in general terms, with input from doctors, caregivers and breast cancer survivors, giving you direction to judge your doctors answers. Dealing with a cancer diagnosis isn't easy, /The 10 Best Questions for surviving Breast Cancer/ may make it less hard.
