The Complex World of Cancer Made Simple
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
A few relatives in my family had or have cancer. The book was very helpful in understanding overall concepts about cancer and not just medical terms. A patient gathers data with a checklist which helps in making sense of the info. The oncologist uses that data to steer step-by-step towards a likely diagnosis. From that comes treatment options. This approach is simple and easy to follow. It is also comforting because as data is gathered each day I feel steps are being taken towards recovery. But what I liked most about the book was its human approach to cancer treatment.
A phenomenal book - essential for Cancer patients.
