| Abstract | "The book you can trust to answer all your questions and support you at every stage. Professor Trisha Greenhalgh and Dr Liz O'Riorden are themselves breast cancer survivors and between them they have had every kind of treatment for primary breast cancer. They are also outstanding doctors, with Trisha Greenhalgh being the author of the world's bestselling evidence-based medicine book and Liz O'Riorden a breast cancer surgeon. The Complete Guide to Breast Cancer brings together all the knowledge they have gathered as patients and as doctors to give you and your family a trusted, thorough and current source of information. Designed to make you an expert patient, it goes right through from diagnosis and treatment to life after breast cancer and managing the fear of recurrence. Packed full of all the things the authors wished they'd known when they were diagnosed, this is the only book you will ever need to read on breast cancer. 'A much needed guide which is both humane and based on robust evidence.' - Macmillan Cancer Support. |
