Download or read book A Breast Cancer Alphabet written by Madhulika Sikka and published by Crown. This book was released on 2014-02-25 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A definitive and approachable guide to life during, and after, breast cancer The biggest risk factor for breast cancer is simply being a woman. Madhulika Sikka's A Breast Cancer Alphabet offers a new way to live with and plan past the hardest diagnosis that most women will ever receive: a personal, practical, and deeply informative look at the road from diagnosis to treatment and beyond. What Madhulika Sikka didn't foresee when initially diagnosed, and what this book brings to life so vividly, are the unexpected and minute challenges that make navigating the world of breast cancer all the trickier. A Breast Cancer Alphabet is an inspired reaction to what started as a personal predicament. This A-Z guide to living with breast cancer goes where so many fear to tread: sex (S is for Sex - really?), sentimentality (J is for Journey - it's a cliché we need to dispense with), hair (H is for Hair - yes, you can make a federal case of it) and work (Q is for Quitting - there'll be days when you feel like it). She draws an easy-to-follow, and quite memorable, map of her travels from breast cancer neophyte to seasoned veteran. As a prominent news executive, Madhulika had access to the most cutting edge data on the disease's reach and impact. At the same time, she craved the community of frank talk and personal insight that we rely on in life's toughest moments. This wonderfully inventive book navigates the world of science and story, bringing readers into Madhulika's mind and experience in a way that demystifies breast cancer and offers new hope for those living with it.

When the word "cancer" first comes into their lives, 17-year-old Katherine is one week away from high school graduation, while her sister Jacqueline is only 14. But upon learning of their mother's diagnosis of stage 3 esophageal cancer, a rare cancer with a poor prognosis, the sisters immediately adopted a "we can do this" attitude that played a crucial role in enabling their mother to become cancer-free in only four months. In a cheerful, conversational manner, these sisters share personal stories, fun photos, and an alphabetized list of 127 tips, tidbits, and words of encouragement to help you and your family make it through your cancer journey. You'll learn about chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery-along with complementary treatments for emotional, mental, and physical health such as yoga, diet, and colorful hospital gowns. "ABCs of Cancer" also provides advice for dealing with the practical aspects of money, legal issues, and insurance-and, most importantly, staying focused on moving forward.
