For many women breast cancer is one of the most distressing of all
diseases. This guide focuses on experiences of the disease from the
woman's perspective. Drawing on 1000 in-depth interviews, the book
makes extensive use of verbatim accounts by women of their own
experiences during different stages - from the discovery of the
lump, through to diagnosis, treatment, and possible recurrence and
death. These extracts illustrate the meaning that a diagnosis of
breast cancer and its treatment has for different women. A
practical, introductory chapter fully describes the medical aspects
of the disease. The women's perceptions and insights are
interspersed with relevant findings and theories from recent
scientific literature. The authors are well-known for their
contributions to cancer research and especially for their work on
the psychosocial aspects of breast cancer and their effect on the
quality of life.
