A revision to the 2006 edition, this vital resource—written for cancer patients rather than medical professionals—incorporates the most current information needed for easing passage through diagnosis, treatment, and life with breast or gynecological cancers. Bellenir (Mental Health Information for Teens) divides the book's 57 chapters into eight segments, offering detailed information on risk factors, cancer types, treatment methods, side effects, and support resources. Chapters are easily navigable by headings posted in a Q&A format. Without graphic embellishment, the text-heavy content may appear daunting but is well organized, accessibly written, and filled with valuable definitions and counsel.
