Organized into four sections that span the cancer-management process from diagnosis through the unpredictable future, this guide covers everything people with cancer and their families need to know about being active participants in their own long-term plan for well-being. With so many cancer patients becoming survivors, living longer and better has become an increasingly important point of focus for The Wellness Community, an international nonprofit organization dedicated to providing free emotional support, education, and hope to people affected by cancer. This book accurately and compassionately addresses all of the physical, emotional, social, and practical needs of today's cancer patients and survivors, preparing them for wellness that can follow throughout the rest of their lives, regardless of how long that may be.
This is the book I'd recommend to anyone facing any cancer diagnosis, or the loved ones of people diagnosed with cancer. It's not a doom and gloom book - this one provides hope and is written in a positive tone. Packed with information and tips, I think everyone dealing with cancer should read this.
A Wellspring of Useful Information

I am going to give a copy of this book to a family member who has just been diagnosed with Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma. I can think of no better "gift" to bring to the hospital than this book. I think it will serve a multitude of uses for the patient and his family members, including but not limited to, what to expect from chemo treatments, questions to ask, a place to record notes from visits with doctors, etc., etc. A much better choice than balloons or flowers.
