| Many women want to know how to reduce their
chances for breast cancer. Other women might know they are
at high risk for developing breast cancer themselves, possibly
by having close relatives who suffered with the disease. Everyone
turns to books to learn and it is only recently that breast
cancer books came out about prevention of breast cancer.
Most breast cancer books available, however, are written
to help women who have been diagnosed with the disease already.
Back around 1980, if a woman wanted written information about
breast cancer, nothing was really available. It actually wasn’t
long ago that books detailing different aspects of breast
cancer were written at all!
Fortunately, now there are many breast cancer books women
can study, gleaning information and written support. The many
aspects of breast cancer information are discussed in these
books, from broad discussions of breast care to books that
detail specific lists which guide the cancer victim through
diagnosis and treatment. Some are written to provide emotional
support and others to present medical data. Thankfully, all
breast cancer books are written in a form that assumes the
intelligence of the reader and her need to acquire the best
information she can, allowing her to make smart decisions
at this juncture in her life.
