Publisher's Synopsis
Each year, around the world, over one million women will be told they have breast cancer. All will face surgery, and most will undergo radiation, chemotherapy and hormonal treatment. But the worry isn't over when treatment ends. In the months and years that follow, women are left with nagging questions, questions they often are afraid to ask:
- When will I know for sure that I am cured?
- Shouldn't my doctor be doing more follow-up testing?
- What are the real figures on breast cancer survival for women treated today?
- How would I know if I had a recurrence?
- How do I answer family and friends who think I worry too much?
- Do other women ever feel the way I do, and how do they cope?
