BREAST CANCER DIAGNOSIS – WHAT TO DO

A few books come to mind here. Choices in Healing by Michael Lerner and The Breast Cancer Survival Manual by Dr. John Link.

Sometimes a new diagnosis can be overwhelming, think about hiring a cancer guide. Remember Annie Appleseed above or:

If you have DCIS , talk to Dr. Michael Lagios at: http://www.breastcancerconsultdr.com He runs a second opinion service.

Ralph Moss at: http://www.cancerdesicions.com offers a personalized cancer report based on your pathology report. If there is any complication with your diagnosis, it is helpful to have a non-biased expert looking at the information with you.

Ralph Moss has some great articles he publishes that you can purchase at his website.  Some of his books may be helpful also.  If you are a practitioner, you must get his new book. Complementary Oncology: Adjunctive Methods in the Treatment of Cancer and Antioxidants Against Cancer

Henry Dreher is another Cancer Guide with an extensive research history. These cancer guides can look at both convetional and alternative/holistic treatments. Henry can be found at http://www.henrydreher.com.

Community Breast Health Project

If you are in the San Fransisco Bay Area and want support, please give them a call.  Their buddy program helps people going thru cancer talk with another owman who has faced a similar diagnosis. They have a number of other programs that are equally helpful.
