Your physician tells you the bad news: "You have cancer." The shock leaves you speechless, but you must go on. When confronted by the news that you have cancer, you may feel an emotional shutdown, the kind where you feel completely numb, or simply horrified. People cannot be faulted for feeling this way. They ask themselves, "What can I do, what is to become of me?" Part of the confusion and fear lies with the medical establishment, the drug manufacturers, and the media. Next comes dealing with your cancer. This book will give you hope. It is "must" reading for those that have cancer, or those with family members who have the disease. Motivated by a family history of cancer that caused the deaths of his grandfather, father, uncle, and eventually his wife, Dr. John Hunter engages in a personal quest to fully research and provide answers to dealing with this dreaded disease. Dr. Hunter engages in a fine and worthy task, explaining which are the most advantageous options from the thousands of case-control studies, comprehensive reviews, and biologic parameters published on the topic, while informing the reader of the reasons for those selections.
