The Cancer Companion

The Cancer Companion: A guide to getting your head and heart around your diagnosis and treatment is a compassionate guidebook written by a cancer patient for those newly-diagnosed cancer patients. The topics covered are those most pressing questions that newly-diagnosed individuals have when trying best to understand what is ahead of them. Topics covered are the emotional and physical challenges of a diagnosis as well as what to expect from scans, tests, and treatments (surgery, radiation, chemotherapy). The book is sprinkled with stories from the author's experience battling two cancers concurrently and includes honest (and sometimes funny) anecdotes.
