The brothers innovative ideas and tireless work in learning and creating new surgical techniques attracted international attention. Physicians from around the world came to watch the Mayo brothers perform surgery.
The Mayo brothers invited other doctors to join them, forming teams of medical experts. Today, Mayo Clinicone of the worlds oldest and largest multispecialty group practicescomprises more than 45,000 physicians, scientists, nurses and other staff at its three locations in Rochester, Minn., Jacksonville, Fla., and Scottsdale, Ariz., and its regional community-based health care practices.

When I was not only called back for more mammogram films, but scheduled for an ultrasound, my anxiety began to skyrocket.
Mary Amundsen
Breast cancer survivor
Mary Amundsen, right, with her daughter and her husband. MFMER
A cancer diagnosis can be a lightning bolt. Once the word cancer is spoken, life stops or seems to. Normal routines unravel. Emotions are laid bare. Concentration is lost. Things that once were so important no longer are.
With the lightning comes the rain a pelting of information, statistics, questions and tests. At a time when all you may seek is warmth and shelter, you cant get out of the storm. Appointments need to be scheduled. Decisions need to be made. Steps need to be taken.
Sometimes, its difficult to know where to begin or which way to turn for guidance. This book was written to provide reliable and easy-to-comprehend information to help you better understand your cancer, make informed decisions regarding your care, and cope with the emotional and physical effects of cancer treatment.
The focus of this book is on the most common and serious cancer to affect women breast cancer. Each year in the United States, more than 200,000 women are told they have breast cancer. The good news is, deaths from the disease are declining, due in large part to ongoing research and continued advances in diagnosis and treatment. Youll also learn key facts about two other cancers that affect women, ovarian and uterine cancer. These cancers are included because theyre more common in breast cancer survivors.
