Product Description
"I was always a rock. I never cried in front of her. I never wanted her to see me upset because that would upset her more." -Jill, 19
"All of a sudden, both of our walls came down and we were able to talk at a nice equal level and not fight, not get defensive, and not get angry." -Stephanie, 35
"I'm convinced that I'm going to get breast cancer in my mid-forties, just like my mother, just like her mother." -Jennifer, 29
For the more than 180,000 women diagnosed with breast cancer each year, the news of their condition changes not only their own lives, but also the lives of the loved ones who support them, suffer with them, and often grieve for them. As a daughter, you may face not only the sobering reality of your mother's diagnosis and treatment, but also the fear and anxiety surrounding the possibility that you too may face a similar future. My Mother's Breast focuses on the unique psychological needs of women who must deal with the pain and devastation of their mother's illness while repressing their fears for their own health. Where once they remained silent while they helped to comfort their mothers, these women now speak out to discuss their anxieties, share their hopes, and teach you about the myths and realities of breast cancer.
Award-winning writer Laurie Tarkan profiles a wide range of women who have witnessed the effects of their mothers' breast cancer. She shares in their own words their fears, anger, guilt, and grief. Plus, My Mother's Breast features important information on preventive measures you can take, methods to determine risk levels, and approaches to facing anxiety. It also offers strategies from leading psychologists and psychiatrists for coping and provides resources for women and men alike.
