More About the Author
I decided to be a writer at the age of 16 because Hemingway made it seem both fun and easy! How wrong can you be? Now, many years later, writing is still the most interesting thing I do. My books are almost always a response to a problem of ignorance. I didn't know anything about Chinese folk religion but I wanted to know who the Gods were so I wrote Chinese Gods; I didn't know about the alternative approaches to cancer so I wrote Cancer: The Complete Recovery Guide. King Hui was an exploration into the life of a Chinese playboy and Wordjazz for Stevie a celebration of the life of my profoundly handicapped daughter who brought meaning into my life. To see some very flattering reviews of these books go to www.blacksmithbooks.com. Also I have a website at www.fightingcancer.com and a blog at www.cancerfighter.wordpress.com

Truly a useful A to Z Handbook,
By A Customer
This review is from: Fighting Cancer: A Survival Guide (Paperback)
A currently common definition of a cancer survivorship states that it extends from the discovery of cancer to the balance of life. Chamberlain extends the definition to include those who don't (yet?) have cancer. He follows with a thoroughly researched and readable discussion of cancer, conventional, alternative, and complementary therapies with a well annotated reference to resources and a bibliography for further discovery. The author works from the premise that an informed patient has a better prognosis but also cautions that only an informed patient is properly equipped to understand options and participate meaningfully in decisions regarding treatment. FIGHTING CANCER provides survivors and potential survivors with the means to become informed.
