Managing Cancer: Managing to Stay Alive

by Patricia Walter

Managing cancer is fast becoming the focus in the media and medical literature. This first-of-its-kind, 400-page, easy-to-use resource offers a strategic, effective plan for patients who are managing cancer, so they can manage to stay alive. The information in this book comes from 6 years' worth of conversations with patients and families along with government research, showing that patients who actively manage their cancer have the best chance of a cure and of a good quality of life. Find out what patients need to do. This book gives 200 Things You Should Know and 200 Things You Can Do in an easy-to-use list format. Doing only a few of these things may save your life! The Appendix contains 400 Questions to Ask when evaluating treatments, having tests performed, and more. Information on more than 200 cancer organizations is also provided. And much more. Managing Cancer provides information about hard-to-find services, for example, how to have your pathology report translated from medical lingo to English for free, and vital information that most laypersons aren't aware of, for example, patients should get a second opinion on their biopsy specimen. Read it today so you know what to do if someone you love gets cancer.
