Summary: Invasive lobular carcinoma
Comment: Dr. Susan Love clearly defines the difference between lobular carcinoma insitu and ductual carcinoma insitu.This helped me make a decision to follow my breast surgeon's recommendation to go to a cancer center for a second opinion when I was diagnosed with invasive lobular carcinoma in February, 1997. Only 10% of breast cancers are lobular in nature. The multidisplinary team approach that the cancer center offered me was very similar to the one that Dr. Love described in her book. This helped me to understand more about my type of breast cancer and to make an informed decision as to type of treatment. I thank Dr. Love for being courageous enough to come out and encourage women to be active participants in decisions made in regard to their health.

Summary: Dr. Susan Love's Breast Book
Comment: I bought this book for my sister when she was diagnosed with breast cancer three years ago. This became a bible to her - she referred to it at every point - surgery, radiation & chemotherapy and every set-back during treatment. She lives in the UK and had me send several books to her friends and later to her gynocologist (all diagnosed with breast cancer). The gynocologist believes it to be the best book written on breast cancer.
Low and behold if I wasn't also diagnosed with breast cancer this year. This is a huge book and I found I could only read the parts that were significant to me at the time. Knowledge is power - and this book definitely gives every reader this! It gives strength to make decisions and understand the options. Dr. Love explains how some women choose not to follow treatments recommended - and how they still survive. Yet, how others follow standard treatment and for no rhyme or reason the cancer returns. (There were just a couple of examples mentioned). Dr. Love gives you all the facts. I did not find her book scary - I want to know whatever I can! There are many charts giving info on studies. I found the chart showing the recommended treatments were right on for what both my sister and I were recommended.
Without a doubt I feel that Dr. Love's book (and her Website with live chats with specialists) has helped me tremendously. I am sure I would have felt lost without this help. I highly recommend this book!

Summary: Very Informative
Comment: After my devastating diagnosis of breast cancer 6 months ago, my surgeon recommended this book to me. It answered almost every question I had regarding my treatment options. It's a lot to digest all at once, so I have just been reading it chapters as they come up in my life. The surgery section is very helpful, and details the whole process from beginning to end. Dr. Love doesn't sugar-coat anything, so some of the information can be hard to digest, but if you are looking for honest, straightforward answers, this book is very helpful.
