Intimacy After Breast Cancer

Author(s): Gina Maisano

Breast Cancer

. 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.
