Helpful information

My mother has this and I found this book to have plenty of easy information to understand in the areas of; signs/symptoms, what can cause or be aggravating factors in this disease, what types of treatments are available and the side effects are and how helpful and harmful the side effects can be, also this book mentions how vital good communication between the patient and his or her doctors must be.

Comprehensive And Covers Smokers Guilt

About 82% of lung cancer is caused by smoking. This book helps the patient and family deal with the emotional issues of knowing that in most cases this deadly disease is caused by the deliberate act of smoking. It also helps one deal with the years and years of lies put forth by cigarette manufacturers denying the deadly nature of smoking. About 15% of all smokers will die of this disease.
