About
Fearful, frustrated, or overwhelmed? Don't even know which questions to ask? This easy-to-read, large print book presents reassuring and easy-to-understand tips for coping with surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation as well as with emotional issues such as hair loss, grieving, and family dynamics. Stand-alone chapters allow use as a reference manual and avoid the problem of information overload. This book is an insightful gift for the newly diagnosed patient and a valuable tool for family members and friends at any place on the journey. This book is the result of twenty-three years of experience with the adventure of cancer. These are the things I wish I had known that I found out along the way. I hope you will use this book the way you would use a travel guide for a foreign country. Read the chapters that illuminate your destinations, don't worry about the side trips that don't interest you, and save the guide in case of unexpected changes in the itinerary! Every effort was made to make the book jargon-free and user-friendly. Each chapter includes a very brief summary of important points (in short:) to make it easy to skim for the information you need or to refresh your memory. The light-weight and large print format make it easy to hold and read for those experiencing fatigue or eye changes during treatment. A bibliography includes both print materials and Internet resources that can be trusted.
