By Jo Cavanaugh (Encinitas, CA United States) - See all my reviews
My husband is just finishing his radiation treatments for cancer
of the head and neck.This book was invaluable to help me
to understand the treatments and what to expect with my
caregiving. Anyone undergoing treatment should read, "The Best
News About Radiation Therapy; How to Cope and Survive", by Carol
L. Kornmehl, MD, FACRO.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Picture Paints a Thousand Words, December 10, 2003
By A Customer
Besides being easy to read and understand, the virtual tour of radiation therapy via the clear photos in the book rendered "Best News" an asset. There are no boring graphs or tables, just reader friendly information.

By A Customer
Dr. Kornmehl uses lots of clinical vignettes througout The Best News, to which people can relate and derive a sense of light through the darkness.
