IN THE PINK
by Lani Lopez Jenna Moore (9781869536091)

Sometimes you don't ask for fear of the answer. Sometimes you don't know enough to ask the right questions. In the pink explains breast cancer in an embracing and easy-to-understand manner. From diagnosis options to treatments, to what to tell your children, to how to cope with guilt, to laughter, to sex, In the pink encompasses a holistic approach for dealing with breast cancer with emphasis on empowerment through knowledge and combining traditional treatment with complementary alternative medicine. The heart of In the pink lies in empowerment through knowledge - not only for yourself, but also your friends and family, who want to understand what you're going through and how they can best help. One in ten women in New Zealand is affected by breast cancer in her lifetime. Jenna Moore is highly committed to promoting breast cancer awareness having put together the breast cancer issue for Next magazine for the last five years. She has teamed up with New Zealand's favourite naturopath, Lani Lopez, and together they have written a book that will raise awareness of breast cancer and help people understand the issue and the variety of treatment options open to them. The authors have recognised that there is a need for a source of information on breast cancer that is not intended to shock or frighten anyone. The book covers both conventional and natural treatments and how they can help each other. For example, suggestions as to what a person can do naturally to make conventional treatment less uncomfortable. The book will be useful to people with breast cancer, doctors, women who have a history of breast cancer in their family and would like to learn how they may be able to prevent it naturally, family members of people with breast cancer and people undergoing breast cancer treatment, post-operative care or on-going maintenance care. Breast cancer doesn't just happen to menopausal women. Each year women in their 20s and 30s are diagnosed with the disease. In the pink arms you with knowledge about the foods, natural supplements and lifestyle habits you can employ to help prevent the risk of breast cancer as well as emotional and physical ways of coping with treatment and side-effects. In the pink examines in detail, yet in every-day language, every facet of breast cancer: screening options; types of breast cancer and risk factors; treatment options with a particular focus on using alternative medicine to complement traditional treatment; emotional and physical side-effects; diet, exercise and lifestyle recommendations; mind-body healing including visualisation and affirmation, aromatherapy, meditation, yoga and life balance; and advice for family and friends. With encouragement and positivity, In the pink guides you to improve your wellbeing through action and knowledge.
