When Musa Mayer's breast cancer was first diagnosed, none of the accounts she read fully addressed what, to her, was the most important aspect - the human, psychological dimensions of the illness and recovery. In this memoir for sufferers, as well as well as their families and friends, she chronicles her experience of several years with cancer, from biopsy and diagnosis to mastectomy, chemotherapy and reconstructive surgery. She describes coping with fears of recurrence and death, evaluating treatment options, dealing effectively with the medical establishment, and seeking personal support.

Paperback. Zustand: Fair. When Musa Mayer was first diagnosed with breast cancer, none of the personal accounts she reached for fully addressed what was to her most critical: the human, psychological dimensions of illness and recovery. Now, in 'Examining Myself' Musa Mayer offers a beautifully crafted memoir written for the nearly two hundred thousand American women stricken with breast cancer each year, as well as for their partners, families and friends. In a compelling narrative that resists sensationalism and easy answers, Mayer chronicles her experience with cancer over the past several years - from biopsy and diagnosis through mastectomy, chemotherapy and reconstructive surgery. Fears of recurrence and death, challenges to femininity, the imposing medical establishment with its often conflicting treatment options, the bewildering array of alternative methods and theories, the search for emotional support and the fear of losing new-found friends to the disease - these are the issues!
