Many women find it helpful to read about breast cancer and treatment choices; many women also seek out written accounts of others’ personal experience. Remember as you read that all specific medical information, including statistics, is out of date by the time you read it. Both treatments for breast cancer and scientific understanding of the illness are changing constantly. If you want to read the most current medical journal articles, ask one of your doctors for references. If you prefer to read nothing, that is fine, too. Don’t let other people force their coping styles on you. Most women find that at some point during this process, they have read enough; they reach a saturation point. Friends will likely continue to send you articles or books; feel free to decide not to read them. Feel free, also, to tell well-meaning friends and family members to stop sending you these articles if you are upset by receiving them. At the end of this book there is a bibliography and a resources section we hope you will find useful.
