Synopsis

Putting down into print what he's shared with his own patients for decades, board-certified oncologist and hematologist Dr. Joe Hofmeister uses simple analogies to demystify the confusing journey from mammogram to survivorship.

"We saw something on your mammogram."

These six words bring a flood of noise and fear. It's hard to listen to anything at this moment. The cold confusion of medical terminology doesn't help. Dr. Joe realized this, and when he started seeing first-hand the positive impact of his simple analogies with anxious and fearful patients, he knew he needed to write them down and share it with more people.

Full of helpful explanations about medical terminology, procedures, and prognoses—including questions to ask your doctor—How Breast Cancer is Like a Dandelion is an important first step for any patient or caregiver in the face of this scary diagnosis. Dr. Joe's compassion and support are strong enough to help anyone who is directly or indirectly impacted by breast cancer.
