Without even knowing much about breast cancer
Breast cancer, without even knowing much about it
Description
Book Introduction
“After being diagnosed with breast cancer, when you are at your most emotionally exhausted, you should meet
“A detailed and warm guide to patient life from a cancer survivor.”

The patient doesn't know much, and the people around them don't know much either...
Not only does it provide detailed breast cancer treatment information, but it also provides comfort to patients facing fear!

Breast cancer progresses slowly and has a good prognosis after surgery.
However, unlike other cancers that are considered curable after 5 years, breast cancer requires constant observation and regular checkups even after 5 years.
Because there is a possibility of recurrence and metastasis even after a long time.
Contrary to the public perception that breast cancer is a 'relatively easy cancer,' patients must endure the pain of cancer and the fear of recurrence.
"Breast Cancer, Not Even Knowing" is a story about a breast cancer patient who was diagnosed with breast cancer at the young age of 38 and returned to her daily life after surgery and standard treatment.


Neither patients, their guardians, nor their acquaintances know much about breast cancer.
This book vividly reflects the patient's perspective, including what to expect after a cancer diagnosis, what to watch out for before and after surgery, and what changes should be made in daily life to prevent recurrence.
In particular, it provides detailed information and comfort about breast cancer and its treatment, after being reviewed by Director Park Chun-mook of 'The Clear Clinic', who is considered the doctor that breast cancer patients most want to see after standard treatment.

Into the book
This is a good book that saves patients and their families a lot of time spent panicking and searching the internet when they are diagnosed with breast cancer and don't know what to do.
This book presents a variety of treatment options that breast cancer patients are concerned about, including standard treatment courses, adjuvant therapy through food and nutritional supplements, and functional medicine testing and treatment.
If you have the courage to change your life, I think I can show you more paths.
(Editor's Note)
--- P.10

Most cancer patients experience extreme fear immediately after diagnosis.
Because I thought I might die soon if I got cancer.
Until yesterday, I didn't even know I had cancer, but the moment I heard that I had cancer, the tragedy began.
Yesterday or today, my body remains the same, but my mind changes 180 degrees.

--- P.37

The reason we make a notebook of wrong answers when studying for a test is to know why we got a question wrong and to avoid making the same mistake again.
The reason I studied cancer so hard was to find out why I got cancer and to never get cancer again.

--- P.149

I started to think again about what is most important to cancer patients.
And we concluded that the best management is the one that can be done consistently.
Immunotherapy is never-ending. There's no telling how long IVC treatment will be needed or how much high-frequency hyperthermia treatment will be needed.
Since I can't realistically do all the treatments, I thought about what kind of management method I could consistently practice in my daily life.

--- P.206

People might think that cancer patients would want to go back to the way they were before their diagnosis if they could, but that's not always the case.
I am much happier and freer now than before I got sick.
After surviving cancer, my life has become richer and I love the life I have now.

Publisher's Review
The golden time for breast cancer treatment: a solution for fighting the disease for one year after diagnosis!
Cancer treatment schedule in order, only the most frequently asked questions by patients and their families!

Patients without medical knowledge are faced with unfamiliar medical terminology and an unknown follow-up schedule before they can even recover from the shock of a cancer diagnosis.
Breast cancer is often diagnosed with an accurate stage of cancer and the subsequent treatment plan can only be determined after surgery, so many people suffer in the dark until the surgery.
And since most standard treatments are completed within a year of diagnosis, it is important to have a certain mindset about treatment during the year and how to change your attitude going forward.


This book is a vivid treatment guide that records treatment information and emotional changes in standard treatment timelines.
The author's story of wisely overcoming breast cancer, regaining her will to live, and starting a new life as a courageous cancer survivor is a good book that reduces the time that patients and their families spend panicking and searching the internet when they are diagnosed with breast cancer and don't know what to do.


How to manage your feelings of helplessness after a breast cancer diagnosis
From unfamiliar standard treatments to information on immunotherapy and health management methods to prevent cancer recurrence!


At each stage of breast cancer treatment, patients are faced with a choice.
When should I have surgery? Should I get genetic testing, and if so, what kind? Do I need to stay in a nursing home after surgery? Is immunotherapy absolutely necessary? Can I take nutritional supplements? The complex medical terms—"subtype," "hormone positive," "triple negative," "hypothyroidism," "hormone receptor," and "Ki index"—can be overwhelming. Choosing a treatment option and worrying about whether my choice is the right one can be overwhelming.

During standard treatment, lifestyle, eating habits, and mindset should be different from before the cancer diagnosis to improve the treatment effect and prevent recurrence and metastasis after standard treatment ends.
Just as the author, after much thought and effort, found the answer that suited him, those who read this book will also be able to find the answer that suits them.
