Breast cancer accounts for around one in four of all cancers seen in women worldwide and is the major cause of death from cancer in this group. Each year in Australia over 12 600 women and around 100 men are found to have the disease. The actual number of people diagnosed is on the increase and by 2011 it has been estimated that some 15 000 patients per year will be found with the condition. 'The Little Pink Book' covers every stage of breast cancer from diagnosis to the final follow-up care. Written in easy to follow and accessible style 'The Little Pink Book' explains all the latest treatment regimes available what they involve what drugs are used and the side effects. It covers each step taken in the different treatments and offers information as to what you can expect. Never before has there been such a comprehensive guide to how breast cancer is treated in Australia collected together in one book. Written by a leading Australian oncologist Dr Phillip Yuile 'The Little Pink Book' answers all the questions that he has been asked by his patients over the last 30 years. As an added feature 'The Little Pink Book' is pocket size making it very portable and easy to slip into a handbag. There are also stories quotes and advice from patients included throughout as well as a section upfront covering the most common questions new patients ask.
