The 10 Best Questions for Surviving Breast Cancer, Dede Bonner
Description
A guide to the questions worth asking after a breast cancer diagnosis, written by Dede Bonner with a foreword by Marisa C. Weiss.
Rather than supplying answers, the book supplies questions, organized in sets of ten and drawn from research and interviews with oncology specialists, physicians, and breast cancer survivors. Alongside the medical questions are ones covering the parts of life a diagnosis affects but appointments rarely address: work and time away from it, what to expect from children, intimacy and relationships, and financial concerns.
It is built to be carried into appointments and used across treatment and recovery.
Paperback, 336 pages, 5.3 by 8.3 inches. Published September 2008.

Why It Matters
Having questions written down changes that. You are not relying on memory at the worst possible moment, and you have something to hand to whoever came with you.
The questions nobody prompts you to ask are often the ones that matter most day to day. What this means for work, what to tell your children, what happens to intimacy, what any of it costs. Those rarely come up in an exam room, and they shape the year ahead as much as the treatment plan does.
