Customer Reviews

I recommend this book a lot!

In a thoughful, direct way, Brent Ryder's book addressess many of the important issues facing cancer patients, family, and friends from the time of diagnosis through long-term survivorship. The chapters cover everything from a detailed explanation of what cancer is, treatment options, and advocacy advice, with recommended reading and resources. I especially liked the section on how to support a patient as a family member or friend, and the chapter that deals with legal, financial and insurance issues facing cancer survivors - this kind of information is not easy to find in one place. If someone can only afford one book, this would be the one I'd recommend.
