This review is from: Myths & Facts About Lung Cancer (Paperback)
My father was recently diagnosed with lung cancer. This book was very helpful in helping us understand the staging, the options, and the possible treatments. Although it covered a lot of the same ground as the American Cancer Society Web site, which is extremely helpful, it also covered some other information.
