Product Description

Medicine & Science Description: Carcinoid cancer is a rare disease with approximately 8,000 cases reported in the U.S. each year. Because of its rarity and slow-growing tendencies, carcinoid is often improperly diagnosed, and when diagnosed, treated incorrectly. This is the story of one person's relentless battle against carcinoid, and of the author's struggle to come to terms with the death of her beloved sister. Inside, you'll also find the words of some of the world's top carcinoid specialists, invaluable reference data, and a comprehensive list of the top carcinoid specialists. The author, Mary Girsch-Bock, was born and raised in the Chicagoland area, and still considers Chicago 'home.' Mary currently lives in the Dallas-Fort Worth area with her husband Shannon, son Jared, three birds, and a neurotic dog.
