摘要
This extraordinary book reveals the experiences of twenty different women diagnosed with breast cancer. With extreme courage, insight, and compassion, the women uncover intimate perspectives of illness and recovery. In their own words, the women share how they have dealt with treatment, coped with emotional and physical stress, faced the threat of recurring cancer, strengthened ties with family and friends, confronted mortality, and developed new outlooks and philosophies. Breast Cancer is a remarkable book, ideal for health professionals, educators, students, patients, and their families, anyone interested in developing new insights into disease and living.

This short, paperback book describes the experience of breast cancer from the perception of the individual patient. It is based on interviews conducted by the author. The author invites the reader to learn, as she has, from the woman's experience. With breast cancer so prevalent today, these are worthy objectives. This book is written for all healthcare practitioners encountering woman with breast cancer. Readers will gain an understanding of the experience. The book lacks special features; there are no references, tables, or graphics. This short book tells the stories of women with breast cancer based on the content analysis of two interviews with each of 20 women. The chapters are arranged based on the major concepts threaded through the interviews, such as the reaction to the diagnosis, being out of control, reaction to treatment, the changing world, and becoming more alive. Although the author states she has an interest in health and wellness, she does not delineate the theore tical basis for the content analysis. In addition, it would have been helpful for the researcher if the author would have embedded this work In the larger research work on women with breast cancer.
