Summary

Breast cancer is a frightening topic of great concern to young women. Originally published in 1995, this book was awarded the Joan Fassler Memorial Book Award by the Association for the Care of Children's Health and has been completely updated with the latest information on breast cancer prevention and treatment. Using a question-and-answer format, this book is a valuable resource that should be required reading for all young people, male or female, and should serve as a model for discussions of other illnesses that impact young lives.
