Although my healthcare team did an excellent job explaining everything to me, the simple truth is that no matter how good your memory is, you can barely remember anything because of the tremendous shock you have just received. This book is very simply written, and that is not a criticism, but instead, it is exactly what is needed after you have received the terrifying diagnosis of breast cancer."</P><P>"My sister-in-law, also a patient, sent me this book, and it has been a real Godsend!

About the Author: <P>Board Certified Oncologist and Hematologist, Dr. Joe Hofmeister focuses on treating the whole patient not just their cancer. From the moment he walks into the exam room and meets a new patient, he knows his job starts with easing the concern and anxiety he sees on their faces. Dr. Joe learned that much of their fear came from a lack of knowledge and understanding about their medical condition, so he created simple, helpful ways to explain it.</P> <P>After seeing the positive effect on so many of his own patients, Dr. Joe set out to help every patient and family facing cancer by creating the Dr. Joe Explains Series, starting with How Breast Cancer is Like a Dandelion, a compassionate, supportive, human guide to facing a breast cancer diagnosis.</P> <P>Dr. Joe received his medical degree and performed his residency at the University of Pittsburgh. He moved on to The Ohio State University for his hematology and oncology fellowship. After completion, he joined Columbus Oncology and Hematology in Columbus, Ohio, where he continues to practice oncology and hematology. Dr. Joe is married and has four children.</P>
