5.0 out of 5 stars
A superb, comprehensive guide for the lay reader,
This review is from: Confronting Cancer: How To Care For Today And Tomorrow (Paperback)
The best review I can give of Confronting Cancer is that I'm a cancer patient, and this book gave me information I hadn't read even in books devoted just to my type of cancer. The first 150 pages consist of descriptions of the etiology and treatment of many different kinds of cancer. What's impressive here is that the book contains detailed information but can be understood by the lay reader. The rest of the book (about 200 pages) discusses such topics as treatment options and side effects, biological therapy, getting second opinions, alternative treatment, and getting one's affairs in order.What I appreciate about this book is that it gives a realistic picture and describes negative as well as positive effects of various treatments. I feel it gives the cancer patient a good idea of what to expect, and will be useful as patients move into different phases of their experience with cancer. So much information is conveyed here that a second or third reading would be worthwhile. This is one of the two or three most useful books about cancer I've found thus far. |
