Surviving Triple Negative Breast Cancer: Hope, Treatment, and Recovery
Prijatel, Patricia (E.T. Meredith Distinguished Professor Emerita, E.T. Meredith Distinguished Professor Emerita, Drake University School of Journalism)
After her diagnosis of triple negative breast cancer (TNBC), health journalist Patricia Prijatel did what any reporter would do: start investigating the disease, how it occurs, and how it's treated. While she learned that important research was emerging, she found a noticeable lack of resources on the disease, which affects 70,000 women a year and differs from hormone-positive breast cancer in important ways, including prognosis and treatment options. InSurviving Triple Negative Breast Cancer, Prijatel delivers research-based information on the biology of TNBC; the role of genetics, family history, and race; how to navigate treatment options; and a plethora of strategies to reduce the risk of recurrence. Woven throughout the book are stories of women who havefaced TNBC: mothers, wives, daughters, and sisters who went through a variety of medical treatments and then got on with life. Surviving Triple Negative Breast Cancer Book is a roadmap for women who want to be empowered through their treatment and recovery.
