Coping with illness

""Just Diagnosed was given to me when I was newly diagnosed with breast cancer. I was able to be extremely prepared for all of my doctor's visits, armed with questions suggested by the book. It was also a source of comfort, knowing that even though everyone's breast cancer journey is different, we are all in this together and can learn from each other. This book is a must-have. I have referenced it many times throughout my treatment and recommended it to several friends."" - Allison Roditi, FACHE, Vice President of Orthopedics, Catholic Health, Breast Cancer Patient

Just Diagnosed, written by Arlene Karole, is based on her personal experiences and it is dedicated to helping others become self-aware and empowered by taking charge of a breast cancer diagnosis.

Just Diagnosed started with scores of sticky notes as certified healthcare professional Arlene Karole began navigating the early stages of her own diagnosis. Voluminous research and numerous consultations with doctors and discussions with friends followed, ultimately leading to this book, which is designed to teach, inspire, and empower. No matter your unique diagnosis, stage of breast cancer, stage of life, or gender (men get breast cancer too), you have choices regarding your attitude, approach, and health-care decisions.

Karole employs incredible candor, an often-humorous approach, and a great deal of vulnerability in connecting with her readers. She provides resources, checklists, and definitions. This book is designed as a road map through a breast cancer diagnosis; it's a step-by-step guide on what you can expect, what you need to know, and what to do next-from initial diagnosis through the difficult decisions ahead.

In Just Diagnosed, Karole helps readers grapple with this most intimate disease. With her book as a guide, you will face this news with great friends-even ""breast friends""-courage, and fearlessness, knowing you do have choices, you are in control and most of all, you are not alone.

This is a book that aims to help those who have just been diagnosed to get the most from their breast cancer-related consults and appointments. Some of its sections focus on preventive care and suggest changes to enjoy better health; others are directed at those who are coping with medical challenges in the moment.
