Customer Rating: 
Summary: Great Book!
Comment: This was a great book. It provided details about what to expect, and offered solutions. It even covered the emotional aspects of dealing with treatments, for both patients and caregivers.
Customer Rating: 
Summary: Basic and useful
Comment: There is so much conflicting information out there but this book is helpful and nonjudgmental. In other words they are not guilt tripping you about how you brought this illness on yourself. Nor do they advise you to start eating juiced spinach when you can hardly handle pudding. They tell you what to expect with the chemo and ways to deal with various problems. A great resource book.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Getting Through It
Comment: This was my Bible during chemotherapy. It answered all my questions, cleared up my misconceptions, and overall let me view my treatment as a positive, healing process. I ordered a new copy to donate to my local breast cancer group.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Must-have
Comment: Since my diagnosis three weeks ago I have checked out and read every book on chemo and radiation in my county's library system. This is by far the best - it's the only one I decided to go out and purchase so I could keep it around for reference. The advice is very down to earth and practical. The authors' knowledge and practical experience is evident on each page. The diagnosis of cancer sent me into an information seeking frenzy - I'm glad that I found this one right away as it de-mystified a lot of things for me. Read this one first!
Customer Rating:
Summary: Little info for Radiation
Comment: I bought this book expecting information for dealing with radiation. There was very little information on radiation at all. The book may be useful for Chemotherapy patients (which is why I give it two stars). It had no stars of value for me dealing with radiation. My doctor told me more. "Cancer for dummies" and "just get me through this" have more information.
