The Layman's Guide To Surviving Cancer: From Diagnosis Through Treatment And Beyond
"The combination of personal anecdotes, practical guidance and realistic encouragement Howad Bressler provides in The Layman's Guide To Surviving Cancer has resulted in a powerful and inspiring must-read book for any cancer patient and their loved ones navigating through the cancer experience. I highly recommend it."
Joseph I. Lieberman, Former United States Senator and Vice Presidential Candidate
The Layman's Guide To Surviving Cancer is a raodmap for going through and surviving the cancer ordeal from diagnosis through treatment and life after cancer (or the preparation for the end of life). It approaches these issues from a physical, emotional, dietary, holistic, and spiritual perspective. It draws on my experiences as a leukemia patient and survivor, my interactions with and counseling of other patients and my career as a toxic tort lawyer and skills in breaking down complex issues in laymans terms (much as I would do for a lay jury). The book has received strong endorsements from oncologists associated with Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center and Columbia University, one of the leading pediatric oncologists in the country, the author of Everyone's Guide to Cancer Therapy and several cancer patients, among others.
The book addresses many of the issues that cancer patients face, such as: how to choose a doctor/hospital; where to get information about your disease and treatment options; how to deal with the emotional roller-coaster that a cancer diagnosis can evoke; the roles that diet, stress, nutrition and attitude play in defeating cancer; nutritional and other complementary approaches for dealing with cancer; how to prepare practically for the demands that treatment will put on your life routines and maintain your sense of normalcy as much as possible; your rights as a patients (both with regard to your medical treatment and workplace); and how to take away the positives that can come from the cancer experience.
The Layman's Guide To Surviving Cancer has been described as an "easy-to-read, engaging, commonsense guide for the newly diagnosed cancer patient and those undergoing treatment," and a book that "should and will become 'The Bible' for patients who have been diagnosed with cancer."
