OverviewIs Lumpectomy an Option for You? If you've been diagnosed with breast cancer, your mind is probably filled with questions about treatment. Perhaps you've heard about lumpectomy, but you question whether it's the best treatment for you. You're not alone. Many women ask the same question. For decades, mastectomy has been the surgery of choice. But, recent research shows that lumpectomy combined with radiation, is as safe and effective as mastectomy for invasive breast cancer. Oncology nurse Rosalind Benedet and radiation oncologist Mark Rounsaville, M.D., have worked with hundreds of breast cancer patients, and understand your concerns. In Understanding Lumpectomy, they draw from years of experience to answer your many questions. Among the topics they cover: How breast cancer is diagnosed and staged Understanding when lumpectomy is an option How a lumpectomy procedure is performed Radiation therapy-how it works and what to expect When chemotherapy or hormonal therapy is needed Coping emotionally Exercises to regain arm mobility Preventing lymphedema-arm swelling Optimum nutrition for healing Your Guide to Lumpectomy . . . from Diagnosis to Recovery Full Product DetailsAuthor: Rosalind BenedetPublisher: Addicus Books Imprint: Addicus Books Dimensions: Width: 13.90cm , Height: 1.20cm , Length: 21.50cm Weight: 0.235kg ISBN: 9781886039629ISBN 10: 1886039623 Pages: 164 Publication Date: 01 April 2003 Audience: General/trade , General Format: Paperback Publisher's Status: Active Availability: Temporarily unavailable  The supplier advises that this item is temporarily unavailable.
