Beyond Breast Cancer: A Mayo Clinic Guide to Healing and Wellness is a supportive, practical guide to life after diagnosis and initial treatment for breast cancer. In this short, accessible book, Mayo Clinic breast cancer specialists Tufia C. Haddad, M.D., and Kathryn J. Ruddy, M.D., and colleagues offer their insights on how to navigate this new phase of the journey, including monitoring for signs of recurrence; optimizing diet, sleep and exercise habits; coping with lingering treatment effects; improving sexual health; managing money and insurance issues; and much more.
Use this book to help you through those months after treatment is over and when treatment is ongoing. Return to it as needed. Life after a diagnosis of breast cancer is rarely the same as it was before. But that doesn’t mean it can’t be richer, more meaningful and perhaps even healthier. It’s about more than just surviving. It’s about living the life you were meant to live.
Tufia C. Haddad, M.D., is a medical oncologist specializing in breast cancer. She sees patients with all types and stages of breast cancer, striving to promote their understanding of their cancer and empowering them to become partners in managing their health. She has a special interest in survivorship care and works together with clinicians from many different specialties -- including integrative medicine, women's health, cancer psychology, primary care and others -- to provide holistic care for complex problems. Her research focuses on identifying novel strategies to transform cancer care with an emphasis on using telehealth tools and artificial intelligence. Dr. Haddad is the Medical Director of Digital Product and Platform Strategy, Center for Digital Health, and co-Chair of Platform and Digital Innovation, Mayo Clinic Comprehensive Cancer Center. Kathryn J. Ruddy, M.D., M.P.H., is a medical oncologist specializing in breast cancer. She has particular expertise in treating younger women with breast cancer, helping them navigate the side effects of cancer treatment and address survivorship issues such as fertility preservation and future pregnancy. Dr. Ruddy also has expertise in male breast cancer and survivorship concerns unique to men. She is active in research focused on prediction and prevention of toxicity in patients with cancer. Dr. Ruddy is the Director of Cancer Survivorship for the Department of Oncology at Mayo Clinic.
