Practical
Tips and Personal Advice From a Survivor
 Judy
King has walked the path, seen the benefits, and
dealt with the limits of the medical establishment’s
approach to breast cancer. Now she has written
the book she wishes she had, one that will help the newly
diagnosed understand the ins and outs of a wide variety
of procedures and stages of the journey, as well as where
to look for help from within and outside traditional medicine.
Solutions
exist for almost every question or complaint a breast cancer
patient has.
But
just try finding them! Many breast cancer books and Websites
offer limited help, but none
compiles the wisdom of so many cancer survivors and experts
into an easy-to-search reference book like Breast
Cancer Answers. This book tells
you how to deal with work concerns, insurance and relational
issues, special nutritional and emotional needs, and side
effects of treatments. Like a trusted confidant, it addresses
topics you may be embarrassed to discuss with your doctor
or even your best friend, such as depression and changes
in sexuality.
“Judy
King has done a beautiful job of weaving both factual
information from physicians, epidemiologists, and dietitians
and her own personal experience and that of others
into a powerful tapestry resource for persons diagnosed
with breast cancer and those who care for and about them.”
—Laura Baynham-Fletcher, M.A., L.P.C., director,
Place of Wellness, UT M. D. Anderson Cancer Center, Houston,
TX
“The
most complete and informative book on breast cancer I have
ever read. I recommend it for all my patients.”
—Dixie Melillo, M.D., general surgeon and cofounder
of The Rose, a nonprofit breast cancer organization in Houston,
Texas
“The
most valuable gift imaginable for the newly diagnosed searching
for answers.” —Nancy
Maranto, breast cancer survivor
The
author of five nonfiction books, Judy
King earned a bachelor’s degree in journalism.
She owns Judy King Editorial Services in Houston, Texas,
where she resides. Cancer has given her many new
friends and a wiser perspective on life that she
endeavors to pass on to her husband, two children and seven
grandchildren.
