This is a superb book on a dreadful disease,
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
written by a very talented and capable doctor. Johns Hopkins is an outstanding facility, filled with top-level physicians. Dr. Schoenberg rises to the top! He is straight forward and chillingly honest with his patients. You can believe what he says when the patient is under great pressure to make a decision about a very serious condition and surgery. This book is most helpful in helping a patient make a wise decision. I have not found another book that spells it out and tells it as it is. I own two copies and am constantly allowing friends to borrow one while they make this terrible discovery and decision on their life and future. Highly recommend it.
Extremly well written

Written in plain English, so you can understand everything that's necessary about bladder cancer. No need to sit with a medical dictionairy to explain terms, since everything is put in plain words. I have bladder cancer and this book has put the disease in perspective for me. I would advise anyone that wants to understand this form of cancer to read it now.

Bladder cancer is the fourth most common cancer and the least discussed: Dr. Mark Schoenberg's Guide To Living With Bladder Cancer tells what is needed to know about symptoms, diagnosis and treatment. Chapters move from the basic initial signs of such cancer to treatment options and bladder preservation therapy. A quite comprehensive portrait evolves.

This is the only book about bladder cancer that I found for the general public. It's very informative and well written with a general optimistic tone. It was very helpful to understand the diagnosis and treatment options.
Bladder Cancer Information
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
An excellent well-written,illustrated book on bladder cancer, the disease, the therapy, the treatment, the medical viewpoint as well as patient experiences. The information is top-notch and told in an easily understood format, yet medically correct. Not only is this book great for the bladder cancer patient but also for family members.It helps to cut through all the unknowns and the fears. I highly recommend it. Years ago, I looked for such a book to help understand my father's condition, but none was available. Five stars plus to the author who took the time away from a busy medical practice to help educate the general public.
