The first goal of this book is to provide the patient with accurate information. The second goal is to show how a combination of orthodox medicine and complementary therapies can help people through their cancer diagnosis, treatment and follow up. The book also incorporates a novel 4 cusp approach, which enables women to explain to their families where they are in the process. The 4 cusp approach is like a map for people with cancer. Early chapters apply to all women diagnosed with cancer, followed by chapters for each specific site of disease. Then follow chapters on chemotherapy, radiotherapy, pain management, complementary therapies and spiritual approaches. The chapter on bereavement broadens out from matters related to death to the whole process of coming to terms with one's diagnosis and treatment.
