The Best for Layman Readers on Cancer
On the symptom of obstructive jaundice and despite a lack of firm clinical/lab finding of malignant cells from blood tests, ultrasound, ERCP (and cytology) as well as CT Scan, surgeons are of the view that my mother is being attacked by cancer at her bile-duct/head of pancreas.

Informed Decisions - 2nd edition,
This review is from: Informed Decisions, Second Edition (Paperback)
As an owner of the original "Informed Decisions" I was thrilled to see that there was an updated edition. I purchased the 1st edition when a
family member was diagnosed with cancer and it was a wonderful help -not to try to make decisions, but to know what to ask the doctors. I purchased the new edition in order to try to do the same for a family member with oral cancer. What a disappointment!!! I expected to find updated info about staging and survival rates, Not there!! Just a general discussion that is not any more helpful than the information in a general use medical text, such as Merck's, Johns Hopkins, etc. If a good text is needed, find a used copy of the original "Informed Decisions" and check the data with your doctors.

The Best for Layman Readers on Cancer,

This review is from: Informed Decisions, Second Edition (Paperback)
On the symptom of obstructive jaundice and despite a lack of firm clinical/lab finding of malignant cells from blood tests, ultrasound, ERCP (and cytology) as well as CT Scan, surgeons are of the view that my mother is being attacked by cancer at her bile-duct/head of pancreas. Laparotomy surgery, frozen section, Whipple Procedure and By-pass surgery are suggested for the cure. I knew nothing about cancer and its associated terminologies 6 weeks ago, but thanks to reading this book I begin to have a basic understanding on which I can ask useful questions of doctors/nurses for family decisions.
