The Thinking Woman’s Guide to Breast Cancer

Take Charge of Your Recovery and Remission

The Thinking Woman’s Guide to Breast Cancer is much more than my autobiography—I wrote it to empower patients to take charge of their own treatment decisions and help them stay in remission.

READERS REVIEWS

Janet Maker, Ph.D. Author of The Thinking Woman's Guide to Breast Cancer

A Few Words from the Author

Dr. Janet Maker, Ph.D.

When I was diagnosed in 2011, like most people, I knew almost nothing about breast cancer. What I did know is that I didn’t feel safe simply following my doctors’ advice. I needed to understand for myself all my treatment options, the statistical outcomes for each option, and all the potential side effects, so I could make informed decisions. The Thinking Woman’s Guide to Breast Cancer is the story of my journey and the things I learned along the way. It’s the book I wished I had before, during, and after my treatment.
