BOOK REVIEW

A Cancer in the Family: Take Control of Your Genetic InheritanceA Cancer in the Family: Take Control of Your Genetic Inheritance by Theodora Ross
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

As a BRCA/Hereditary Cancer Advocate I was excited to read Dr. Ross' book. While I thoroughly enjoyed it, part handbook, part memoir, it's definitely worth the purchase just for the index! Pages 201-266 list inherited cancer syndromes by name and associated gene. Lifetime cancer risks associated with each syndrome are also spelled out in addition to current risk management guidelines for both women and men.

Those interested in health and science would enjoy this book.
Medical students and ALL DOCTORS in ALL SPECIALTIES would benefit from reading this book.

BOOK REVIEW

Calling the Shots in Your Medical CareCalling the Shots in Your Medical Care by Beth Gainer
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Excellent book by Beth Gainer. Using her own experiences as a guide, Beth illustrates exactly how to advocate for yourself with your medical care.
Clear examples and suggestions are given. A great handbook of empowerment for any patient.
