Best info book

This book is fantastic. I sent it to my son along with many other books on colon cancer. He said it was the best one he has seen. It is great to have such a good resource book.

Wonderful!

This book is very comprehensive and thorough. It has been most helpful during the many phases of an unexpected journey.

Excellent resource for colorectal patient support

This is a professionally written book, with lots of detailed info and references. It's not a very easy read for the layman, but if you're really interested in the subject, as a patient or a helper, this will cover most of your needs and questions. Some times it goes into more detail than I would need, but I just skip what I consider too much for my brain. Many thanks to the authors for such a comprehensive non-medical text.
