Navigating Your Breast Health: Assessing and Managing Breast Cancer Risk
Product ID: 826729359
Nearly 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer and many more will be at elevated risk for breast cancer due to family history or other risk factors. Knowing how to assess your breast cancer risk and then what to do next if you are at elevated risk is incredibly important for both your breast health and your overall health. This book describes how to start gathering information about your family history and other parts of your medical history that are helpful in determining your risk. Next, it takes you through the steps of getting an estimate of your lifetime risk, including if you should consider genetic counseling or testing. For those who find themselves at higher risk, this book explains the recommended screening process and ways to reduce your risk. And finally, for those who choose to have preventative mastectomy due to elevated risk, it walks you through surgical options, what to expect before and after surgery, and how to prepare. 100% of book proceeds will be donated to The Breasties, an all-inclusive non-profit creating community for people impacted by breast and gynecological cancers and supporting metastatic breast cancer research.
