Cancer! Each year, over a million people in the US will hear those dreaded words, and most don t know where to even begin. This book, written by a cancer specialist, takes the cancer patient or caregiver step-by-step through the process of diagnosis, staging, and treatment, explaining what he needs to know in an easy-to-read question and answer format. But this book goes beyond the basics to addresses sensitive topics that most patients would like to ask their doctor but rarely feel comfortable with, such as the cost of medical care, cancer pain, suicide, death, how to get a second opinion and how to sue your doctor. It is a must-read for anyone who is newly-diagnosed with any type of cancer, including breast cancer, colon and rectal cancer, lung cancer, pancreatic cancer, prostate cancer, melanoma, leukemia and lymphoma. It will provide the reader with a better understanding of cancer as a disease, how it is viewed by his doctor, and how that viewpoint influences treatment decisions.
