Abstract

"As a young queer woman, Catherine Guthrie worked hard to feel at home in her body. However, after years writing about women's health and breast cancer, Guthrie is thrust into the role of the patient after a devastating diagnosis at age thirty-eight. At least, she thinks, I know what I'm up against. She is wrong ... Filled with candor, vulnerability, and resilience, Guthrie upends the "pink ribbon" narrative and offers a unique perspective on womanhood, what it means to be "whole," and the importance of women advocating for their desires. This book is the story of how she found the strength to forge an unconventional path - one of listening to her body - that she'd been on all along." - Cover

Abstract

"This practical, science-based book focuses on helping partners, family and friends understand breast cancer. It guides them in how to provide the best emotional and practical support when helping someone with breast cancer to cope, recover and thrive, while maintaining their own physical and psychological health. The authors translate psychological evidence into concrete, practical advice for caregivers, validated through their first-hand experience. It also suggests ways to help someone with breast cancer make the best decisions in consultation with oncology professionals. The authors draw on well-established psychological principles relevant to social attitudes, how decisions are made, good communication skills, empathy, and how to better understand the ideas and worries experienced by women who have, or may have, breast cancer and those close to them. Each chapter includes 'How you can Help' sections that give specific and concrete suggestions, as well as a chapter summary of the main points along with recommendations and additional resources. It is essential reading for all those who want to help and support a loved one with breast cancer. It is also useful for training healthcare professionals in how to support partners"-- Provided by publisher

Breast Neoplasms - therapy

Abstract

"This book highlights up-to-date and novel information with clinical aspects regarding breast cancer. It covers aspects ranging from epidemiology, biology, and molecular classification to currently available and potentially new therapeutic options for breast cancer. It highlights insights into breast cancer at the molecular level with a holistic approach to use combinational strategies involving various therapies for targeting different pathways involved in this particular malignancy. This book contains a range of latest resources, including schematic illustrations, recent reviews, and information for patients with breast cancer. Various novel biomarkers that are under clinical investigation will also be discussed in this book. Furthermore, the relapse and recurrence after treatment with various therapies presents a great problem, as it develops resistance to which combinational strategy may prove to be a promising approach, and in this book, we have discussed all the aspects of combination therapy in breast cancer. People including students, research scholars, educators, pharmaceutical professionals, clinicians, researchers, practitioners and patients as well as their family members will find this book very much useful." --publisher
