Book by Dr. Susan Love is often recommended on the breast cancer newsgroup.
I never much liked her website (http://www.susanlovemd.com/ ) She makes
statements like "And we are still approaching treatment for breast cancer in
the same ways: surgery, radiation and chemotherapy." and "Our mission: to end
breast cancer in ten years."
We know that's not going to happen, donations to her Foundation or not.

I prefer this one
http://www.imaginis.com/breasthealth/menu-benign.asp (click on breast health on
the left)

Views from other countries...

(encouraging about stats and more)
There's info here that I've not seen elsewhere...

(includes flap operations)

There's more on either FAQ

Other lesser diagnosed types of
Doctors.com is usually too teckkie
a website for financial help
Some others I've not checked out recently.

I'll include this, in case they want to access the breast cancer newsgroup
news:alt.support.cancer.breast

http://www.cancersupporters.com/faq.html (instructions on how to get there and
more)

I think I have 3 or 4 websites about radiation therapy.
They bother me, because none agree with each other (nor agree with what Steph
posts).
In other words, they mention side effects that differ from each other and/or
might scare the patient.
If you want them, I'll look and see if they're handy
Best wishes.
