Women talk about breast surgery : from diagnosis to recovery / Amy Gross and Dee Ito.

"An important contribution to women's health care, this empowering guide to all types of breast surgery - biopsy, lumpectomy, masectomy, and reconstruction - is told in the words of survivors who have been through it. It is comprehensive, honest, and truly informative [...] Women Talk About Breast Surgery also includes interviews with doctors and nurses, anesthesiologists, radiation therapists, and plastic surgeons. It contains sample consent forms, a glossary of medical terminology, the "Patient's Bill of Rights" developed by the American Hospital Association, and a script of questions that you might like to ask your doctor. And it discusses insurance plans and cancer risk analysis."--From cover.
