For nearly 20 years, Dr. West has focused on giving his patients the best care possible when they show up for diagnosis or treatment. The question he gets most often from his patients is: “What would you tell me if I were your wife or daughter?”Prevent, Survive, Thrive: Every Woman’s Guide to Optimal Breast Care is the answer.
Drawing from the latest scientific findings in the field of breast care, Dr. West outlines the things most women don’t know about screening, like when you should insist on an ultrasound instead of only relying on mammogram results or how to determine if you should get genetic testing—and what it can and cannot tell you about your cancer risk. He lets you know exactly what kind of pain is normal and what should be investigated further.
“If you never want to hear the words, ‘You have breast cancer,’ this book is for you. . . . There are plenty of books on facing the diagnosis of breast cancer, but this book, with its accurate straight-talk information, practical tips, and survivor stories filled with hope, helps you to prevent breast cancer. Every woman with breasts needs to read this book, and don’t say this because it’s funny. I say this because it’s true.
