Publisher's Synopsis
Once breast cancer - always breast cancer? For many women and men, the diagnosis means not just a temporary illness but a lifelong challenge. Thanks to advances in medicine, breast cancer is no longer inevitably a fatal diagnosis. Nevertheless, the chronic course of the disease remains an integral part of life for many sufferers - a chapter that must be individually shaped.
This book offers comprehensive information on modern treatment options and their effects, and sheds light on the physical, psychological and social aspects of the disease. It imparts in-depth medical knowledge, provides practical tips for everyday life and provides valuable impulses for a self-determined, fulfilled life despite the diagnosis.
With a fact-based and empathetic approach, this book helps readers to find their own role in therapy, make informed decisions and discover new perspectives on life. An indispensable companion for anyone living with chronic breast cancer.
