This review is from: 100 Questions & Answers About Caring for Family or Friends with Cancer (Paperback)
This book is helpful for those who haven't yet had to interact with someone close to them having cancer. For those who've helped another or several other cancer patients, it is a good book to take along when visiting family or friends who may not know anything about what a cancer diagnosis can do to one's outlook and quality of life. It is most helpful in reminding each of us that each cancer patient and family/friends will approach the reality differently. We can be respectful of that and of the decisions made to deal with cancer treatment.
