<div>The "Bible" (New York Times) and the "seminal work" (LA Times) offering&nbsp;the most authoritative&nbsp;guidance through all stages of breast cancer diagnosis&nbsp;and recovery, fully revised and updated. &nbsp;</div> <div>While the amount of information regarding a breast cancer diagnosis is vaster than ever, online and off, what&nbsp;continues to be missing is the explanation behind the options. Most of the data online on medical sites is&nbsp;generic and often comes from the same source. Then there are the patient sites&nbsp;as well as many social media outlets that provide peer to peer support and information. This is important for emotional support but still&nbsp;leaves out the full range of options and the reasons for them. The Breast Book is where people go for a deeper understanding of how to&nbsp;make the best possible choices for their particular situations. Now in its seventh edition, the Breast Book has been fully revised to incorporate all the most recent developments in prevention, treatments and research. This new edition covers:&nbsp; <ul> <li>New treatments: including new drugs, vaccines, hormonal treatment and drugs with longer duration (10 years) for the estrogen positive tumors</li> <li>The increasing focus on where cells live, both locally (immune system, hormones, etc.) and systemically (stress, etc.)</li> <li>Prevention: several new drugs have been added to the list of chemoprevention drugs. In addition, preventative surgery has received increased attention.</li> <li>Increased data on "alternative" approaches such as stress reduction and exercise in reducing recurrence.</li> <li>Increased understanding of the immune system and how it either controls or promotes the cancer.</li> <li>Risks for survivors</li> <li>Genetics</li> <li>Special groups: Men with breast cancer are demanding a louder voice in the conversation and research.</li> </ul> </div>

Later to bed, munching some fries, makes a girl pretty healthy and wise. . . . Yes, it’s true—more or less. Why? Women do need to eat healthier, exercise, get adequate sleep, and take preventive health care seriously, yet it’s equally important for them to relax. Relax, take a breather, and give up trying to follow the narrowly prescribed health “rules” that are constant sources of unhealthy stress and guilt. In Live a Little!, women finally get a long-overdue dose of realism about what’s truly healthy and what’s mostly hype. Susan Love and Alice Domar take on the health police, whose edicts make us feel terrible when we don’t get eight hours of sleep or eat the maximum daily serving of veggies. Most important, they remind us of a forgotten truth: Perfect health is not achievable. Breaking down the prevailing health “musts” in six areas—sleep, stress, preventive care, exercise, nutrition, and personal relationships—these doctors, with a little help from the other experts of BeWell, cut to the heart of these topics and give us realistic guidelines for living a healthy enough life, one that also includes laughter, relaxation, and a commonsense attitude about being pretty healthy. To learn more health truths and whittle down your overblown expectations of yourself, open this book. Using science combined with these experts’ surprisingly refreshing opinions, Live a Little! shows you how to be healthy without driving yourself crazy! From the Hardcover edition.
