This website is Michigan State University's Breast Cancer Information.
Some of the topics covered are:
General: Cancer Facts, Ductal In Situ, Invasive
Diagnosis: Mammogram, Biopsy, Axillary Node Dissection
Treatment: Lumpectomy, Radiation Therapy, Mastectomy, Chemotherapy, Hormone, Bone Marrow Transplant
Recovery: Physical Recovery, Family Adjustment, Emotional Recovery, Long-term Follow-up
Each of these areas are discussed in depth, but the explanations are easy to understand, and very basic. I like that they also include personal experiences from breast cancer patients.
If you have any questions, or are confused or concerned about any part of your cancer diagnosis or treatment, this seems to be a good source of information. It was written in 1999, so some of the information might need to be updated. Of course, the best source of information is your own doctor - please make sure to ask him/her any questions you have during your cancer journey.
