5.0 out of 5 stars If you have cancer, this is THE book to read!, August 14, 1999

By	[e-mail] (San Jose, California, USA) - See all my reviews

After rushing out and buying six books on cancer, this single volume summarises the diognosis, the treatments, the physical phases, the emotional phases and spiritual phasaes of cancer. I wish I'd known about this book earlier. The language is clear and concise and the facts are just that, FACTS not myths or untried methods. It covers even the very practical aspects of life- threatening illness, how to pay the bills, which no other book even thought to mention. I wholeheartedly recommend this book. It is a MUST. It should be in EVERY doctor's office, every library and every one who deals with cancer patients on even an occassional basis.

5.0 out of 5 stars A tonic after receiving the shattering news of Cancer!, June 23, 1999

By A Customer

An excellent book for those first shattering moments after receiving "the news." This book covers in calm and everyday terms what this life-changing disease really is. It cuts the fog of hear-say and unfounded expectations on Cancer. It tells what the doctors could do, what the patient can do, and what the family and loved ones around must do. Clear and practical, it allows all those touched by this disease to face it squarely and move on to practical and tension-relieving productive actions. Lifts the shell-shocked out of the shock to deeds and positive actions. A must for those who thought that Cancer can never happen to me!

5.0 out of 5 stars Heal the mind, then heal the body., January 14, 2000

By	Teresa M. Martin (Virginia, USA) - See all my reviews

I have two books by Dr. Fintel and he is also my Medical Oncologist. I got the book before ever meeting him and read it along with others from end to end. You do have to heal the mind before the body. The book tackles this very major issure along with giving you the needed information that you strive for upon learning of having cancer. This information is approached in a manner that anyone could understand. I highly recommend this book to friends and relatives of cancer victims also. The support group surrounding a person has the largest effect on the mind. Next the person has to make it right in his own mind before presenting himself to others. That's where this book surpasses other books.
