Description

The Breast Book presents a wealth of information, from the anatomy of the breast to its cultural significance and sexual character, from breast feeding and breast self-examination to cosmetic surgery, benign breast changes, and breast cancer. In her uniquely sympathetic style, Dr. Stoppard gives indispensable advice on breast care at all stages of a woman's life - from early menstruation to menopause and beyond - with particular emphasis on the early detection and. treatment of breast cancer. Writing with warmth and candor, Dr. Stoppard addresses women's fears, assumptions, and feelings about their breasts. With its expert guidance and up-to-date medical information, including a comprehensive list of relevant organizations and support groups, The Breast Book offers every woman the confidence and knowledge to make informed decisions about the health of her breasts - and to take charge of her body and her life.
