Book Reviews of Chemotherapy and Radiation For Dummies
Book Review: Knowledge is Power! Great advice for the newly diagnosed.
Summary: 5 Stars
First you scream...and then you start looking for control. At least that was least that was my experience. As I read "Chemotherapy & Radiation for Dummies" I kept wishing it had been around eight years ago during my own cancer journey. For those newly diagnosed, I highly recommend adding this insightful, practical resourse to your nightstand. Doctors Lyss, Fagundes and author/survivor Patricia Corrigan have provided current, relevant answers to some of your most immediate questions and concerns. And, they've done it in a caring, conversational tone that validates what you are most likely feeling. They've taken two mystifying subjects and made them understanable for the average patient. Speaking authoritatively and candidly about treatment options, side-effects and how to cope, they provide practical advice for how to become your own health advocate and lessons in how to work effectively with your medical team. Let these experts help you win back some control and give you hope. You CAN regain a measure of control over your life...do yourself a favor and read this book.
