Paperback $24.95

Just wish this book was available when I was diagnosed! This straightforward, affordable paper back edition gives a concise overview of headings that include:

  • Symptoms and Causes 
  • Diagnosis 
  • Treatment and Care 
  • Living with Cancer 
  • Treatment options are analysed, which gives an honest appraisal of their effects on the body and mind.

n important reference book which gives answers to so many of those questions that arise when diagnosed.

Although published six years ago, a good deal of the subject matter is still relevant today. Recently available drugs would need to be researched from up to date literature.
