Saving Tatas
Author: Christine Austin
Publisher: Balboa Press

Category : Health & Fitness
Languages : en
Pages : 202
Book Description
Christin Austin is well aware of the fear and concern that women have regarding their breast health. She, herself, received very bad news of a potential breast cancer diagnosis in 2005, shortly after her mothers diagnosis. Her cousin, Angela, lost her battle with cancer at the age of 33 and her mother succumbed to the disease in 2010. After healing her own breasts, Christine has vowed to help women to do the same. Women need not wait to be broken to improve breast health. With these proven strategies, they can start healing their breasts today. Saving Tatas is different because it is based on Christines experience and proven strategies that significantly changed her risk assessment. Her breast test results went from high probability of malignancy to no criteria that establish risk for malignant disease. The reality is that Breast Cancer Awareness strategies have done little if nothing to decrease the incidence of diagnosis. The mammogram can be a useful tool for detecting a breast tumor, however, the cancer cells may have already entered the lymphatic system, producing a potential death sentence. The aim of Saving Tatas is to arm women with useful information that can prevent and/or reverse unhealthy breast tissue before it becomes cancerous. With wisdom comes power. More women need to be empowered with good, up to date, preventative information and this book, Saving Tatas, provides just that!

The Healing Journey of My Bodacious Ta Ta's
Author: Venus DeMarco
Publisher: AuthorHouse
ISBN: 9781477274644
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 150
Book Description
When Venus DeMarco was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2009, she did what anyone would do. She saw specialists, got second opinions, and began weighing her options for a path to recovery. But unlike most, her decision did not include surgery, burning, or poison. Rather, it took her on an international journey to self-discovery, where she learned to heal not only her body but also her mind and spirit. The Healing Journey of My Bodacious Ta Tas is DeMarco's story of natural salvation from one of the most diagnosed diseases today. The memoir takes you along on DeMarco's life-changing - and at times humorous - adventure, as she looks cancer in the face and defeats it. The story will educate and inspire you to live a fuller and healthier life, and to look for the possibilities found along the road less traveled.

ISBN: 194942412X
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 548
Book Description
Are you ready to Be UnBRCAble? Get set to live, laugh, and love with this award-winning series, chronicling the journey of women gaining control over their genetics. Contains the complete award-winning novels: Ready for Whatever, Seize the Day, and Underneath It All. Ready for Whatever: An uplifting romantic comedy about facing your worst fears ... and finding out that everything might be okay. "Look on the bright side, Millie. At least you don't have cancer." Testing positive for the BRCA gene only means one thing: Millie Dwyer is almost certain to develop cancer at a young age. After losing her grandmother and mother to the dreaded disease, Millie's always feared a similar fate. But now the twenty-nine-year-old has technological advancements on her side, including radical surgeries, that can save her from ever having to deal with the Big C… but at quite a cost. Now Millie has to come to terms with a new normal—new breasts, missing ovaries, hot flashes, insensitive friends, and, worst of all, the knowledge that she'll never have biological children. One thing's for certain—she's never planned on trying to navigate the dating scene with all this on her plate … but on the road from loss to love, Millie finds that laughter certainly is the best medicine. Seize the Day: Current Mood: Freaking Out. Erin McAvoy is living her best life. A lover of tacos, witty T-shirts, and Pinterest, Erin is always ready to tell you about her favorite thing—the animals she tends to at one of the nation's best zoos. But then there's that other thing she doesn't like to talk about: how a supposedly-for-fun DNA test revealed that Erin has a strong genetic predisposition to breast and ovarian cancer. She'd like to conveniently ignore that elephant in the room, except for the fact that unless she does something soon, Erin will miss out on her only chance to have a baby. Up to this point, the only guy she's needed in her life was a sloth—the animal kind, not the lazy kind—named Barry. Turns out, if you want to have a baby, a sloth is not the right man for the job. Growing up in a conservative family, Erin's never even considered any other options, until now. She doesn't have a lot of time to wait, and online dating isn't for the faint heart. When co-worker Xander Barnes—foe—or friend?—or maybe even more?—comes up with a plausible solution to give her the baby she wants, Erin realizes this may be her last chance to grab the tiger by the tail. Her family may not agree with her choices, but Erin knows that if one leopard can change his spots, then she can too. And maybe, just maybe, this will be everything she's ever wanted. Underneath It All: Marg Kensington has the perfect life. No really, she does. A husband who's as detail-oriented as she is, two great kids, the house, you name it. The only thing not perfect for Marg (pronounced with a hard g, get it right), is the fact that she carries the BRCA-1 gene mutation. Marg won't let something like cancer stop her. Instead, she's being proactive and saving her life before she gets sick. A small bump in her perfect road. But that bump turns into a massive sinkhole when her breast implants are recalled, and she finds her husband has been cheating on her. Now faced with health crisis after health crisis, a failed marriage, and rebelling children, Marg can no longer keep up the facade of a perfect life. It's time, with help from a most unlikely source, to realize that facades may crumble, but it's underneath it all that really matters.

Bodies Unbound
Author: Piper Sledge
Publisher: Rutgers University Press
ISBN: 1978815808
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 103
Book Description
Bodies Unbound is a comparative study showing how ideologies of gendered bodies shape medical care and the ways in which patients respond to these ideologies through decisions about their bodies using three cases: transgender men seeking preventative gynecological care, cisgender men diagnosed with breast cancer, and cisgender women with breast cancer who elect to undergo prophylactic mastectomies. Bodies Unbound is a story about how the relationship between bodies and gender becomes socially intelligible as well as how medical professionals use their position of relative authority over bodies to dictate which combinations of bodies and genders are legitimate or not. Drawing on the experiences of individuals whose bodies and gender identities don't match medical and social expectations for gynecological and breast cancer care, Sledge unravels the taken-for-granted alignment of bodies and gender that provide the foundation of medical care in the United States.
