When Dr. Janet Maker was diagnosed in 2011, she, like most people, knew almost nothing about breast cancer. What she did know is that she didn’t feel safe simply following her doctors’ advice. She needed to understand for herself all her treatment options, the statistical outcomes for each option, and all the potential side effects, so she could make informed decisions. The Thinking Woman’s Guide to Breast Cancer is the story of her journey and the things she learned along the way. It is the book she wished she had before, during, and after her treatment.
