It's Time to Gain Some Control Over Cancer Discover every woman's guide to reducing cancer risk, making treatment choices, and optimizing outcomes. A Message from Dr. Kristi Funk Based on my experience as a board-certified breast cancer surgeon, I know for a fact that we have the power to reduce our breast cancer risk in achievable and dramatic ways. Many women believe that family history and genetics determine who gets breast cancer, but for most people, they don't. In fact, 87 percent of women diagnosed with breast cancer do not have a single first-degree relative with breast cancer. This book will help you reduce your cancer risk - and cancer recurrence risk - based on food choices and healthy lifestyle changes, all backed by rigorous scientific research. I'll also explore uncontrollable risk factors for breast cancer, plus outline your medical choices if you're at elevated risk for, newly diagnosed with, living with, or navigating life after breast cancer. I want to empower you with facts and strategies to help you understand your breasts, reduce your cancer risk, and open your eyes to interventions and treatments if you are diagnosed with the disease.
