Breast Cancer Black Woman

BREAST CANCER/BLACK WOMAN is a primer to help women survive breast cancer. It is directed primarily to black women since the chance of cure is much lower than in white women; cancer is often contracted at a younger age in black women .Also, black women, for a number of reasons, are often diagnosed late & tend not to be as aware as others regarding the prevalence of this epidemic. Nevertheless, all women will find this book informative & helpful. Dr. Johnson's writing style is relaxed & to the point; & there are drawings & photographs throughout the eight chapters, many in color. Emphasis is placed on early diagnosis, & the responsibility of women to take an active part in treatment options. Different treatments are discussed as well as the types of breast cancer relative to prognosis. There are discussions of plastic surgery & the flaps over the use of silicone implants & radiation dosage. The question of when & who should get a mammogram is answered. Marketing is through seminar presentation, media promotion & direct mailings. Order from Van Slyke & Bray c/o Montgomery Urgent Care, 4152-C Carmichael Road, Montgomery, AL 36106 (205) 272-4445.
