Synopsis
Most people don't know about cancer until they have to -- when they are faced with the diagnosis for themselves or for a loved one. Emphasizing how to cope psychologically with the experience of cancer, this book goes beyond diagnosis and treatment options to explore subjects rarely discussed by doctors -- feelings and values, legal matters, intimate relations, children, stress, and facing death. Written from the patient's point of view, it will be of interest to cancer patients, their families, loved ones, and doctors and will guide them through the physical and emotional ordeal of cancer.
