WOW!! This impressive book is for the person who desires to "optimize" their own health. Diana, a Registered Dietitian, and survivor of THREE episodes of cancer herself, discusses the on-going and evolving state of nutrition research and how she uses that information to determine her own "optimal diet" to treat/prevent cancer recurrence. She discloses how she has implemented good nutrition and complementary therapies into her everyday life. She shares her own recipes, serving sizes, sample menus, tips for eating 9+ servings of fruits and vegetables, recipe book sources, her own personal grocery list, dining-out tips, and newsletter, book & internet resource listings. Don't pass up this great help-yourself book!

This would be a very helpful book for anyone who wants to improve her or his nutrition, regardless of whether they have cancer or not. The author starts out by teaching the reader how to have a well balanced diet - information everyone needs to know. One of the things I like best about the book is that she acknowledges that research on nutrition and cancer is incomplete, but then goes on to discuss how to include foods that have been shown to be possibly helpful in preventing cancer. The book is packed with useful information and helpful hints to make the dietary changes easier and more enjoyable. Reviewed by Patricia J.

When I started reading A Dietitian's Cancer Story, I found it so interesting, well written, and practical that I could not stop until I had finished. Then I thought, what a wonderful information resource from which many people around the world could benefit. It has been a pleasure for me to translate A Dietitian's Cancer Story into Spanish (Historia De Cancer De Una Dietista) which is also now available on Amazon.com. I admire Diana Dyer as a nutrition professional and also as a patient who has gone through a lot to be where she is now: helping many people. The field of cancer and nutrition has been enriched with the book A Dietitian's Cancer Story.

This book is wonderful. If you have received that dreaded diagnosis, your doctor is not going to give you as much advice as Diana Dyer does. This book tells you how to improve your diet to maximize your chance of surviving. If you are still healthy, try to stay that way by following her guidelines. I was struck by how far ahead of her time Diana Dyer was. She was making changes (some controversial) way before the research showed she was doing the right thing.

During my own battle with cancer, I learned SO much about how nutrition can both save your life and then help you to maintain a strong, healthy life.
I decided to become a Registered Dietitian to try to help others learn this information and help themselves as well. While speaking with my adviser at the new school, I was informed about this woman who had made a similar journey and who had decided to do the same thing! I bought the book and I am so glad that I did - she is an inspiration!
It arrived in perfect condition and very quickly - thank you!

I know Diana personally and she is as amazing in person as she is in print. When I worked as a RD in Oncology,I purchased multiple copies of her book to give to my breast cancer patients. It was a great inspiration for them!! A must buy if you are battling cancer or know someone who is starting treatment and/or finished with treatment!!

All my cancer patients, my Registered Dietitian colleagues and Oncologists love this book! I keep this book in my office library to show patients and clients because it is
the best source of science based medical nutrition information and
resources for individuals with cancer. I have had the pleasure of hearing Diana speak at FNCE and her book is an incredible resource for
everyone who wants to remain healthy, whether ever having cancer or not.
Her courage and grace are beyond words.

This is a very interesting book. I have read it through one time and have let a friend borrow it. When I get it back I will reread. I'm sure I have missed alot with the first reading.

I feel this is a well written book and is informative for anyone looking to improve their meals and self.
