Dr Lange's book on surviving helps to organize all the confusion that the diagnosis of lung cancer brings. He offers hope by making sense of the next step and the next, and helping the patient understand the physical and emotional aspects of the diagnosis. As a family practitioner I have recommended his books more than once to my patients when they have had to face the challenging diagnosis of cancer.

Once again, Vladimir Lange takes the hand of those of us whom cancer has seen fit to visit and leads us on a journey of extremely applicable, helpful information. A cancer survivor myself, I was so very glad to have Dr. Lange's book on breast cancer during my treatment, as it not only provided ideas for innovative pro-active measure to take, but also gave me a peace of mind that I had not yet found in my journey of dealing with this disease. Having friends with lung cancer, I read "Be a Survivor -- Lung Cancer Treatment Guide" as well and found it to offer the same level of valuable counsel--only targeting lung cancer. I can confidently recommend this book to anyone dealing with such a diagnosis.

I was interviewed for this book as a lung cancer survivor. I sincerely feel that it is a honest and helpful resource for lung cancer patients... and long overdue. I wish I had had it when I was diagnosed 3 1/2 years ago. I love the personal comments from patients... and it gives hope for those with this very dreadful cancer.
