Dr. Jamie D. Daniel Releases BREAST CANCER: WHERE TO BEGIN

"You've got breast cancer." That sentence causes such a shock that most people don't really hear what comes after that. They often ask "What happens next?" or "Now what?" Breast cancer is now widely discussed, most people know what the pink ribbon stands for, and everyone has his or her own idea what treatment consists of. What most people don't understand is what their own treatment will entail or even where to go to find out what is available to them.

"BREAST CANCER: WHERE TO BEGIN" is a comprehensive, yet easy-to-understand, guide that marries the personal touch of a female surgeon whose practice centered on breast cancer patients and the extensive resources available in the US. In a simple, straight forward manner, Dr. Jamie Daniel explains the various treatments currently available without a complicating, scientific discussion or extensive statistics. Listening to her patients over the years, she brings up the practical things for consideration when looking at those options. These are important insights to have prior to making treatment decisions, and often times may be overlooked.

This book is all about taking those first steps and making those decisions on an individual basis, explaining to women who have a lump (and no diagnosis yet) what to do and where to go, whether insured or not, to assuring cancer patients that they have options for treatments, physicians, and support. It is not a textbookno extensive scientific explanations on cancer physiology or etiology."BREAST CANCER: WHERE TO BEGIN" is a guidebook on finding help and making treatment decisions that any woman can use to shed light on her path through the dispiriting experience that is breast cancer. Included is an extensive resource section listing support services both nationally and in each state.

There are over 158 million women in the United States. Nearly 19 million will be diagnosed with invasive breast cancer during their lifetime. In 2013 US estimates alone: over 230,000 women will be diagnosed with invasive breast cancer, over 64,000 will be diagnosed with carcinoma in situ (early form of breast cancer), and over 39,000 women will die from breast cancer, which is the second leading cause of cancer death in women. Also, roughly 2,000 men will be diagnosed with breast cancer this year.

Dr. Daniel, a central Florida based surgeon widely praised by her patients, believes in empowering people by informing them about their choices in a down-to-earth manner. Her compassion is admirable, and her passion for helping patients get the best care is praiseworthy, as she is one of America's Top Surgeons for 2010, according to Consumers' Research Council of America.
