Cancer Supportive Care : A Comprehensive Guide for Patients and Their Families (Revised Edition)

Cancer Supportive Care is an essential resource for all those whose lives have been touched by a diagnosis of cancer. Ernest H. Rosenbaum, M.D., and Isadora Rosenbaum, M.A., draw on their extensive knowledge and years of medical care to provide the most up-to-date information about the diagnosis and treatment of cancer but also the emotional and psychological needs of those coping with a cancer diagnosis.

This book is a resource dedicated to living, not dying; to helping cancer patients concentrate on enhancing and cherishing the quality of their lives despite, and sometimes because of, their brush with this frequently life-threatening illness.
