Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After her diagnosis of hormone-negative breast cancer, health journalist Patricia Prijatel did what any reporter would do: start investigating the disease, how it occurs, how it's treated, and how to keep it from recurring. While she learned that important research on triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) was emerging, she found a noticeable lack of resources on the disease, which differs from hormone-positive breast cancer in important ways, including prognosis and treatment options. Triple-negative breast cancer disproportionately affects younger women and African-American women-and some forms of it can be more dangerous than other types of breast cancer. But there are many reasons to be hopeful, as Prijatel shows in this book. Surviving Triple-Negative Breast Cancer delivers research-based information on the biology of TNBC; the role of genetics, family history, and race; how to navigate treatment options; understanding a pathology report; and a plethora of strategies to reduce the risk of recurrence, including diet and lifestyle changes. In clear, approachable language, Prijatel provides a fact-filled guide based on a vast array of scientific studies. Woven throughout the book are stories of women who have faced TNBC. These are mothers, wives, daughters, and sisters who went through a variety of medical treatments and then got on with life--one competes in triathlons, two had babies after being treated with chemo, one got remarried in her 50s, and one just celebrated the 30th birthday of the son she was nursing when she was diagnosed. Writing with honesty and humor, Prijatel delivers an inspiring message--that TNBC is a disease to take seriously, with proper and occasionally aggressive treatment, but it is not automatically a killer. Most women diagnosed with the disease survive and go on to live full lives. Surviving Triple-Negative Breast Cancer is a roadmap for women who want to be empowered through their treatment and recovery.

Book excerpt: This book is dedicated to all the women and men who are struggling and have struggled with the challenges of breast cancer. I wanted to recognize all the people who lost the battle with cancer due to this dreadful illness. I want to thank all my friends and family for their constant support and for being present in our lives. Last, but not least, I want to thank God for keeping and protecting me. He has given me strength in my body and a message from my heart, to help others who are suffering from cancer by explaining how to walk through this journey in peace and without fear. The book is an introduction to the world of cancer and how it changes a person into someone they don't recognize. The book will address the side effects of chemotherapy, statistical measures, how to decrease risk, sexuality, mental well-being, self-care, and a host of other topics. It's uplifting as people try to regain their health and take back their lives. You will learn to live with the disease and appreciate life more than ever before. The book is energetic and takes you into areas that are thought-provoking. The goal is to be happy right where you are today. I am a registered nurse with 28 years of experience, who has spent the last 10 years working with patients in an oncology center as a care manager. I have worked with all types of cancers, especially breast cancer. I wanted the experience in the area because I am 18 years triple-negative breast cancer survivor. Those 18 years have not been a walk in the park. The cancer had returned three times. It was the hardest thing I ever had to do in my life. I lived this journey every day, and I would like to encourage and motivate other people who are going through the same journey on how to get to feeling well again. In this book, I want to share my story and help you with recovery. I will teach you how to live again. I will teach you acceptance of the new you.
