Book Reviews of Chemotherapy and Radiation For Dummies
Book Review: Best Book for Cancer Treatment
Summary: 5 Stars
When I was diagnosed with cancer, I went to the library and checked out every book they had on cancer treatment (and that's a lot of books). But this is the only one I bought, and I refer to it often. It's more focused than many of the other books - it just deals with treatment, and doesn't talk about specific drug regimens, etc. But it does a great job, talking about side effects and how to treat them, the experience of going through radiation and chemo, and also subjects like meditation and family support. I also appreciated the chapter on testing and screening. This book is easy to read, but doesn't skimp on the details - I really appreciated that. I'd recommend this book to anyone undergoing cancer treatment.
Summary of Chemotherapy and Radiation For Dummies
An informative, compassionate guide for cancer patients and their loved onesEach year, more than 1 million people get treated for cancer, and most of these will undergo chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or both. This reassuring, optimistic guide helps people get a handle on treatment options and explains in plain English how chemotherapy and radiation therapy really work. It offers detailed advice on how to alleviate and cope with side effects-which range from hair loss to nausea to anemia-and describes how good nutrition, meditation, support groups, and other techniques and resources can help in the recovery process.
