What Do You Do When You Are Diagnosed With Breast
Cancer?
By
Catherine Doughty, MS, CCHI – Award Winning Author
Finally, Catherine Doughty,
MS, CCHI has changed everything people ever thought they knew about breast
cancer and how to seek and implement their treatment when they have heard the
words, “You have breast cancer!” It’s
called, Breast Cancer! You’re kidding…right? Living Life Through The Prism Of Uncertainty
And Having A Good Time! It is world
class, superior, sexy and will go down in history as the most mesmerizing book
ever written on the subject of breast cancer treatment and strategy.
The award winning author,
Catherine Doughty, MS, CCHI is a Lean Six Sigma Black Belt and a Director of
Diagnostic and Interventional Imaging in one of the largest health science
centers in the world. An undefeated
breast cancer survivor herself, who has secured significant physician
endorsements and laudatory applause for her brand new award winning book. “Physicians and patients state that their
speechless! If the title and front cover
of the book doesn’t grab you, the back cover and content will demand that it be
read.” The book is loaded with mind
blowing and thought provoking strategy to assist anyone with any stage of
breast cancer emerge stunning, and get their life back in control while
learning how to make decisions in an uncertain decision space and live their
life through the prism of uncertainty while having one rocking hot good
time.
When this unbelievable news
hit the wires, everyone began seeking the attention of the renowned author,
Catherine Doughty, MS, CCHI or the Cat as she affectionately likes to be called
to discover the science behind this Earth-shattering new award winning
book. According to Doughty, it is the
simplicity – no scholarly science, just pure scientific methodology and
remarkable craftsmanship. It started
with the most shocking news a person could ever hear which is, “You have
cancer!” Once the disbelief wore off,
the questions started to surface, “Where does a person start to unravel this
mystery?”
Once you have heard, “You
have cancer!” The first thing that needs
to be realized is a fact of fundamental importance, and that is
uncertainty. Because it means breaking
away from all of the ordinary predispositions of thought you were living with
and reconstructing a new phase of your life.
You also need to give yourself some room to understand the absolutely
fresh new scale of values which the prism of uncertainty presents to you. After you get a hold of uncertainty as the
true reality for everyone, it is the sexiest way to live and, every day you
will have a rocking hot good time!
In the beginning, don’t
imagine that you can assimilate a breast cancer diagnosis, what you will or
won’t accept in the treatment planning stages and all that it contains in one
or two clinical visits with your surgeon, oncologist or other subject matter
experts, or in one or two readings. You
need a strategy to navigate the medical maze and fast. You should review your reports and go over your
options again and again with your physicians until you have thoroughly grasped
the magnitude of the treatment plans you are willing to consent to because it
is you who will live with the
aftermath of every clinical decision carried out.
Doughty says, “I was the
other girl, not the girl being told, “You have cancer!” “I never in a million years dreamed I would be
diagnosed with breast cancer.” Just to
give you some background, breast cancer
is the second leading cause of cancer death in women, exceeded only by lung
cancer. The American Cancer Society's most recent estimates for breast cancer
in the United States
are for 2012:
- About 226,870 new cases of invasive breast cancer
will be diagnosed in women.
- About 63,300 new cases of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS)
will be diagnosed (DCIS is non-invasive and is the earliest form of breast
cancer).
- About 39,510 women will die from breast cancer.
The book is an accounting of
my personal experience with breast cancer.
What I did to emerge cancer free, and look absolutely beautiful. One thing my training as a Director of
Diagnostic and Interventional Imaging and a Lean Six Sigma Black Belt within
the healthcare industry taught me is that imaging, pathology and data are
pivotal components in organizing the decision making process when it comes to a
breast cancer diagnosis. I have
condensed the subject matter into the smallest compass possible because, as
everyone knows who has fallen into what I call the “Cosmic Cancer Bunny Hole,”
conciseness, tool sets for clinical discussions with physicians, and precision
in treatment scenario planning is of the greatest assistance in decision
making.
The book was designed with
the principles and elements for success, in response to the requests I received
from all the cancer patients I have voluntarily coached. So often, they had been terrified, crying for
days and weeks at a time and they all had the same question, “Where do I begin
to unravel this, and where do I start?”
Hence, the birth of the book, Breast Cancer! You’re kidding…right? Living Life Through The Prism Of Uncertainty
And Having A Good Time!
You will be on the edge of
your seat with every single word in this book.
It captures the readers from
beginning to end, and makes them want to live their life through the prism of
uncertainty. The book is superior, sexy
and stuffed with the secrets to successfully navigate the medical maze with a
breast cancer diagnosis and emerge strong, health and absolutely stunning. This is an adrenaline thrill ride from start
to finish, that you cannot put down!
