Not your father's cancer treatment

New advances in cancer treatment are exploding on the scene, and Dr. Dooley and Marian Betancourt have outlined them clearly in this book. It's cutting-edge science, explained in plain English.

The Coming Cancer Breakthroughs- Joseph F. Dooley Ph.D.

I purchased this book for an associate intending to skim through it. It is very well written and "user friendly." I found myself reading the entire book. The chapters direct you to the specific site of cancer the individual is interested in. Standard treatments are discussed but the newer exciting, promising developments for all cancers are detailed. One can find the expert physicians and cancer centers where clinical trials are ongoing. Web sites and telephone numbers are given as contact information.Support groups are detailed. It is uplifting and provides hope. Don't read this book if you are looking for "quackery". I hope the author provides updates with a second edition! Thanks a lot.

The Coming Cancer Breakthroughs

This book was a wonderful help to me and my family. A very close friend told me that she had lung cancer. She was told by her doctor to wait and see. I told her about this book and gave her a copy. She was able to find the latest treatments for her type of cancer in the book. It even had the name of the specialist doing that work in her city. "The Coming Cancer Breakthroughs" gave her hope and she felt empowered by the information she found in this wonderful book. She was able to ask her doctor all of the right questions, and with him, find an experimanetal new treatment for her disease. Without this book, she would never have started the process that eventually heped her so much.
