INTRODUCTION - BAD LUCK OF INFORMATION
You'll find there specific, rather than generalized, advice (not just that you should get more calcium in your diet, but how much to get; not just that you should get a fast and complete workup for infertility, but what the components of that workup should be). No book contains all the answers, but this one attempts to give practical information wherever possible, to point you in the direction of the next appropriate step in seeking good health care, to raise the big questions and, where it can't answer them completely, to guide you to further information.
Too many women, because of a lack of information, bad luck, poor access to medical care, or other common obstacles, fail to obtain adequate health care—and the results can be devastating, as the following case shows. Several years ago, when producing a story on breast cancer for "CBS This Morning," I met a woman in her late 60s living in a sleepy town in rural New Hampshire. I'll call her Sally. Sally was thankful to be alive: She had survived breast cancer. However, she had not survived with her body intact. She had had one entire breast and part of her chest wall removed as treatment for her disease.
