Description
Recent WINNER in the 2017 John Weaver Excellent Reads Awards and 2017 Los Angeles Book Festival. Dr. Maker's book is designed to empower breast cancer patients to go beyond the current one-size-fits-all "standard of care" and make the decisions that are best suited for themselves and their loved ones. Because of her research background, Dr. Maker was able to uncover a great deal of information that is not commonly known to patients. This is the story of Dr. Maker's journey and the book she wished she had when she needed it. Readers may not make the same choices as Dr. Maker did, but the information she lays out will enable them to make choices that are best for themselves and their loved ones.
Advance Praise
“This highly recommended pick should be in every general lending library and in every health or women’s issues collection. This is far beyond an autobiography and delves into the worlds of latest research applications, best practices, and treatments every breast cancer patient should know about before they make decisions.” ~ Midwest Book Review

I was diagnosed with an aggressive form of breast cancer in 2004 when I was 49 years old. I had a full mastectomy with chemo and radiation. I also had a tram-flap reconstruction. I wish that I had had this book as a resource back then. There's so much time pressure and medical pressure that I really could have used it. I think this is a great source of information and support. It's well-written, clear and understandable. Highly recommended.
Thank you to Net galley for the arc in exchange for my honest review.
