Opis

Some 10,000,000 women have survived breast cancer world-wide. Yet many of them still do not feel well. Problems with pain, fatigue, memory, confusion, anxiety, depression and more continue to plague a high percentage of survivors long after treatment has ended. This book, written by a long-term double cancer survivor, provides authoritative information on the possible causes of these lasting effects of cancer treatment and offers a variety of suggestions on how to manage chemotherapy side effects. While the book is based in solid scientific information, the author uses a variety of lenses through which to see this problem, including myth, fairy tales, personal anecdotes and humor. Cancer: How to Make Survival Worth Living is an engaging, delightful book, as well as an educational tool for physicians and patients alike.
