BE A SURVIVOR
Your Guide to Breast Cancer Treatment
by Vladimir Lange, M.D.

 

"You have breast cancer." After the initial shock of diagnosis, women are faced with myriad questions about where to go and what to do next. Lange, a Harvard Medical School-trained physician who experienced his wife's battle with the disease, has written an especially user-friendly book for women seeking answers and a measure of hope. Be a Survivor follows the stages of treatment and recovery, offering a balanced, accessible text; highlighted topic boxes; excellent, detailed illustrations; and checklists of questions for doctors ("Could you give me the names of specialists you think I should see?"). There are informative sidebars and inspirational photos and quotes from survivors on almost every page. Lange's work also covers reconstruction, alternative therapies, clinical trials, and life after breast cancer. The book ends with a lengthy resource list, a glossary, and an index.

 

Several features make the book unique. It is by far the most visually appealing book on breast cancer. Hundreds of realistic photos and diagrams of radiation equipment, chemotherapy rooms, reconstructed mastectomies, etc. give the patients better insights.

 

It is objective — representing the viewpoints of over two dozen leading specialists, rather than that of a single oncologist or surgeon.

 

It is user friendly — clear explanations, lists of questions to ask, testimonials by survivors — all contribute to reassuring rather than intimidating the patient and her family.

ESSENTIALS of HUMAN EMBRYOLOGY

The notes are intended to emphasize important points and to explain difficult stages of development, both normal and abnormal.

 

...provides a visual summary of human development and an outline of its most important concepts. The confrontation of text and illustrations aides both the visualization of normal human development and the understanding of the causes of common congenital malformations (birth defects).

THE HURRIED WOMAN SYNDROME
Healing for the 50 Million Women Who Suffer: Fatigue, Weight Gain, Low Sex Drive, Moodiness
by Brent W. Bost, M.D., F.A.C.O.G.

 

The first section discusses the effects of "hurry" or stress on the modern woman and how it attacks her physically leading to fatigue, mood problems and even depression.

 

The second section, the many facets of weight gain and how it can be caused by, and contribute to, problems in the other two areas of the Hurried Woman Syndrome, are explored. Outlines a very sensible approach to losing weight, and keeping it off, that works — for the long run.

 

The third section discusses sex. Also for men! Even though he may suffer from Osteocephaly (from osteo = bone and cephalos = head, i.e., bonehead!), it will help him to better understand your needs and hopefully make your love life as a couple more satisfying.

 

The fourth and final section will attempt to "tie-it-all-together" and make sense out of the first three parts. Additionally, the last section will also offer suggestions to take the hurry out of your life and allow the joy back in. Minimizing stress and learning to cope with it more effectively is the best treatment for the Hurried Woman Syndrome.
