This review is from: 100 Q&A About Gastric Cancer (100 Questions & Answers about . . .) (Paperback)

When I was diagnosed with GIST in March 2011, I originally purchased 100 Q&A About Gastric Cancer (100 Questions & Answers about . . .) which was helpful in many ways, but not specific to GIST. I wish I had purchased 100 Questions & Answers About Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor(GIST) along with it. This GIST specific book provides so many answers to a predominantly unknown and under-diagnoised cancer. Purchasing both books really helps to provide a complete picture of what to expect from diagnosis to recovery. Highly, highly recommended series.
