There are many excellent books about breast cancer and breast cancer treatment. The following selection includes many books that patients have told me that they have found useful in understanding and coping with breast cancer:

Susan Love's Breast Book (4th edition)



This is probably the single most complete reference which is not an actual medical textbook. It is up-to-date and very complete, but is more detailed and harder to read than some patients prefer.

Breast Cancer for Dummies



One of the well-known "books for dummies" series, this book is actually co-authored by a well-known academic breast surgeon-Dr. Monica Morrow. It is a very complete overview of the essential state-of-the-art treatments for breast cancer.
