Beyond the Pink

About this book

Beyond the Pink educates and empowers you to be your own--and best--advocate. A breast cancer diagnosis is life-changing at any age, but it can be especially distressing when you are navigating diagnosis, treatment, and side effects while balancing work, relationships, parenting, fertility concerns, and more. In these moments, thoughtful, compassionate, and evidence-based support can make all the difference. In Beyond the Pink, board-certified medical oncologist Dr. Teplinsky picks up where the clinical visits leave off, going beyond the science and medicine to focus on the everyday challenges encountered by younger breast cancer previvors, survivors and thrivers. Beyond the Pink helps you navigate every step of the way, offering: The most up-to-date information on screening, diagnosis, genetics and treatment options; Practical tools for emotional issues, such as anxiety, depression, body image, and fear of cancer recurrence; Information on treating and living with metastatic breast cancer; A clear overview of how cancer treatments affect health, including menopause, cardiovascular, bone, muscle, brain, and sexual health, with practical strategies to manage them; and Real stories from breast cancer previvors, survivors and thrivers, along with additional expert insight. If you or someone you love has been diagnosed with breast cancer, Beyond the Pink is your go-to resource.
