Beyond the Pink educates and empowers you to be your own--and best--advocate. A breast cancer diagnosis is life-changing at any age, but it can be especially distressing when you are navigating diagnosis, treatment, and side effects while balancing work, relationships, parenting, fertility concerns, and more. In these moments, thoughtful, compassionate, and evidence-based support can make all the difference. In Beyond the Pink, board-certified medical oncologist Dr. Teplinsky picks up where the clinical visits leave off, going beyond the science and medicine to focus on the everyday challenges encountered by younger breast cancer previvors, survivors and thrivers. Beyond the Pink helps you navigate every step of the way, offering:- The most up-to-date information on screening, diagnosis, genetics and treatment options;
- Practical tools for emotional issues, such as anxiety, depression, body image, and fear of cancer recurrence;
- Information on treating and living with metastatic breast cancer;
- A clear overview of how cancer treatments affect health, including menopause, cardiovascular, bone, muscle, brain, and sexual health, with practical strategies to manage them; and
- Real stories from breast cancer previvors, survivors and thrivers, along with additional expert insight.
Review Quotes: "This is the book I will be recommending to my patients--and the one I wish I had in my hands when I was diagnosed as a young woman. Dr. Teplinsky truly goes 'beyond the pink, ' delivering a guide that is as comprehensive as it is compassionate, and one that recognizes a fundamental truth: survivorship begins the day you are diagnosed."--Dr. Corinne Menn, OBGYN, menopause and survivorship specialist
