Summary

"Breast Cancer: Daughters Tell Their Stories presents the results of a qualitative, grounded theory study of breast cancer survivors, providing in-depth information about an aspect of breast cancer that has been previously overlooked. In this insightful book, women whose mothers had breast cancer tell their stories, expressing the common fears and expectations of daughters - genetic risks, death and dying, and changes in mother-daughter relationships. These poignant narratives will help mothers and daughters better understand their experiences with breast cancer. They will also be of value to the health providers who work with them. This book shows daughters how to gain a more accurate idea of their own level of risk. It also helps breast cancer survivors with children see how their illnesses can shape their daughters' future outlook, offering inspiration, consolation, and empathy."--Jacket
