A complete guide to the side-effects and treatments - both
conventional and alternative - for endometriosis, from a respected
name in the field who also suffers from endometriosis.
Endometriosis is a debilitating reproductive and immunological
disease that affects 7-10 million American women each year. The
disease occurs when the same kind of tissue that lines the walls of
the uterus grows outside the uterus in the pelvic cavity or some
other area of the body, usually significantly affecting the woman's
fertility and often causing pelvic pain. And as with any condition
that affects fertility, the results are often emotional and
psychological as well as physical.
As someone who suffers from endometriosis, and who has
connections to a wide network of healthcare professionals, Morris
is the perfect person to guide sufferers through diagnosis,
treatment and living well with the condition. Like the previous
titles in our successful Living Well series, this book will offer a
holistic approach to living with the disease. The author will offer
strategies for coping with the psychological aspects of
endometriosis, including how best to tell others about the
condition; treatment options including alternative and
complementary treatment plans; dealing with infertility; and
weighing the hysterectomy option. The author will draw on her
relationship with fellow sufferers as well as medical professionals
to help readers, making this the most comprehensive guide to
endometriosis available.
Kerry-Ann Morris was diagnosed with endometriosis in 1999.
Since then she has become one of the most active members of the
endometriosis community, and has started an outreach website for
the disease.She has relationships with many fellow sufferers and
experts in the medical community, making her the perfect author for
a book on holistic treatment.
The available information on breast cancer has evolved so rapidly
that a textbook understanding is no longer sufficient to make sound
therapeutic decisions. Further, the latest findings and data are
spread throughout the scientific literature of various medical
fields, making it difficult for medical professionals to keep
abreast of these advances, and to apply them in their day-to-day
work. This book provides updated information on breast cancer, such
as the modern molecular classification and staging, and
demonstrates how imaging with pathologic correlation can be used in
management decisions. In addition, it identifies the most suitable
imaging modalities for screening, diagnosis and monitoring for each
clinical case. Given its scope, the book offers a valuable resource
for all medical professionals (practicing or still in training)
whose work involves breast cancer, including radiologists, breast
surgeons, pathologists, radiotherapists and nuclear medicine
professionals.
Do you use tools? Sure you do, anytime you eat with a spoon or drink with a straw or write with a pen! A French chef flipping crepes with her spatula; Salvadoran fishers mending nets with their marlinespikes; an American girl carving a jack-o'-lantern with a knife -- in every country of the world, people of all ages use tools to make their lives easier.
The world is full of houses. Big houses and little houses. Houses that stay in one place and houses that move from place to place. Some houses are made of wood or stone; others are made from mud or straw. But all of them are made for families to live in.
This is a book of real life stories of adopters which takes the
reader through every stage of the adoption process starting with
the moment when they decide that adoption is the right option for
them to the stories of adoptees brought up by adoptive parents.
In between, the book looks at all the different types of
adoption that are carried out by all sorts of families from all
sorts of children of every race and age and with every kind of
problem. They range from babies who are only a few days old when
they are taken into an adoptive family to teenagers with a
multitude of psychological and physical problems. The book looks at
both the success and failure of these adoptions.
Its aim is to inform and enlighten professionals, adopters,
potential adopters and all those lives have in some way been
touched by adoption or want to know more about it.
In 15 chapters it includes more than 70 real life stories which
are all told from the heart -- sometimes in a moment of crisis and
sometimes at a time of joy. They are not analyzed; they are true
stories about how it feels to be at the center of adoption. All the
stories, which have been recounted over the past 10 years, are
reflective of adoption today in Britain.
The book also includes a chapter on the legal aspects of
adoption and a further chapter of useful information and
addresses.

she started college in the big city of Baltimore, Maryland. She
admired Ryder James, the heir to James & Son's Manufacturing,
from afar her first day on campus. He fit the cliche of tall, dark,

Captivated by his incredible sexiness, Melody and Ryder are drawn
together in ways she could only have fantasized about. Their lives
quickly take a turn for the worse as someone's out to get them.
When tragedy hits not once but twice, no one can help save them
except for Melody. But can she? This unique love story will have
you rooting for the heroine as she finds strength within herself
and captures your heart along the way. Can Melody save Ryder and
herself from the dangers ahead? Has she gotten in too deep or has
she finally found a place where she belongs?
