Each monthly installment of the Medical Journey will delve into another aspect of breast cancer, including warning signs and symptoms, genetic factors, treatment options, coping strategies, the importance of early detection, palliative care, and lessons learned -- all of which have undergone expert review. Every installment will also include a separate, downloadable, printable information resource for patients.
