Breast cancer: An overview -- Getting a diagnosis -- Coping emotionally -- Surgery for breast cancer -- Breast reconstruction -- Radiation therapy -- Systemic therapies -- If cancer recurs.;This medical handbook serves as an accessible resource for answering the questions of women with breast cancer as well as easing the concerns of their spouses and family members.
