Dr. Susan Love:
Dr. Lisa's Interview

Aired on Superstation WGN
Saturday, June 18 and October 22, 2005
Show 218

 

"Your revolutionary book, Dr. Susan Love's Breast Book, is one of the best resources that exists for breast cancer patients. And you're still doing research. Tell us what's new," says Dr. Lisa.

"There are many new techniques in radiation, such as just using radiation around a tumor. And progress has also been made in surgery procedures. We're doing a lot of research on how the breast works as well as a test called ductal lavage which collects duct cells for analysis and early detection of cancer. We just came out with the fifth revised edition of my book. There is a new section on "life after breast cancer" for those dealing with infertility, premature menopause and "chemo brain" or problems concentrating," says Dr. Love, respected physician and pioneering author.

"Our website is also amended regularly and has up-to-date news. There is a great "myth buster" section to help women weed out false information. I am determined to make things better for our daughters. We need to keep up the fight," says Dr. Love.
