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

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.
