Intimacy After Breast Cancer: Dealing With Your Body, Relationships and Sex

Congratulations! You survived breast cancer. This should be a time
to celebrate so why do you feel so empty and alone? Medical
professionals prepare you for surgery and other treatments, but do
not always address your emotional and sexual health. In Intimacy
After Breast Cancer, breast cancer survivor Gina Maisano honestly
discusses the sensitive issues of self-esteem, body image, and sexuality
to help you become the total woman you still are.
Part One begins by examining the emotions experienced by breast
cancer survivors, including anxiety and fear of recurrence. It then offers
guidance on regaining the confidence to start living again. The mental
and physical effects of post-surgical medications are discussed, along
with solutions for maintaining optimum health. Part Two focuses on rediscovering your sexuality. In a compassionate manner, it addresses the issues that most often challenge both single and married women
and presents suggestions for overcoming them. Love and intimacy do not have to end with a breast cancer diagnosis.  In Intimacy After Breast Cancer, Gina Maisano will help you rediscover the joys of being a woman. (Check Catalog)
