This book, co-authored by a cancer survivor, is an extremely useful tool to help guide survivors (or clinicians working with survivors) through the months and years following a cancer diagnosis. I have used this book as the guideline for a cancer survivorship therapy group and it has been received very well by the group members. One survivor stated that this book "provids the how-to steps" for moving on after cancer. Step-by-step, practical tips make this book a welcome addition to the body of cancer surivorship work.

The Cancer Survivor's Guide is an outstanding resource for patients, family members and friends who want to understand "what next?" I have used this book in a survivorship support group and the group members unanimously have agreed that Drs. Feuerstein and Findley have provided a thoughtful and practical guide for moving past and on to a healthier future.

This book provides a great contribution. It's patient friendly and does a really good job of explaining therapeutic concepts in plain language. I also liked flexible approach of having a menu of things for people to choose from that they can try or leave off. I think it makes the concepts more approachable. The book takes a holistic approach, attending to practical, logistical, medical, psychological, and behavioral factors in survivorship.

This guide through the maze and initial hysteria of confirmed diagnosis...lends a calming voicet to daily management strategies.

A great commom sense tool for not only survivors but people just getting the news that they have....cancer

Not only is this a great book to give support and affirmation to those post-cancer survival, but it's also a realistic wake-up call for those that think they can go back to any self-destructive ways. Easy to read and recommended to ANYONE that has been diagnosed. Time to start anew!

I left this book at my doctor's office so others can get this good information.
