Introduction / George Siedge
Preface
Acknowledgments
Young women with breast cancer : a life worth fighting for
I didn't even know what to ask : negotiating the medical process, from the first sign of trouble through establishing a diagnosis
No one told me it would be like that : measuring options, making choices, from surgery through treatment
Can I still run the marathon? : fitness, diet, and taking care of your body
This empowers me : alternative, complementary, and integrative approaches to healing
I see the pain in their eyes : getting support from family, friends, and community
I was just starting to like my body : Coping with body image, dating, sex, and intimacy
Do I want another breast? : the pros and cons of reconstruction
This is my miracle baby : dealing with fertility, pregnancy, and breast-feeding
I want to dance at my son's wedding : when you've got children at home
I wanted to be taken seriously : Workplace issues
I just try to focus on the now : when cancer recurs or metastasizes
I was looking for a way to fight : a guide to getting active.
