From the Inside Flap

"A diagnosis of cancer is a devastating event in anyone's life. Treatment options are confusing to say the least. Nancy Burns-Silver and Dr. Subhash Gulati have written a valuable reference tool for cancer patients to guide themselves through the various stages of their treatment and recovery. This book gives the patient the power to control his or her own actions, which is why the nurses here highly recommend it. It definitintely should be included in a patient's personal library of pertinent reading material."
