After cancer treatment

A must have book for all those people recovering from treatment for cancer, whether surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation or a combination of treatments. Dr Silver, a physician specializing in rehabilitation, and herself a cancer survivor, explains how to deal with many issues. She has a common-sense, down-to-earth approach on how to deal with a wide variety of side effects including lack of energy, loss of appetite, and many others. She offers helpful suggestions for coping with each of these problems and how to get your life back to as "normal" as possible.

A thoughtful guide for cancer recovery

Dr. Silver's writings in this volume are as approachable as her extensive work in the post-polio field, only with this topic, she brings the additional perspective of being a cancer survivor. At Ann's Place, our community cancer support agency, we feel comfortable recommending this book as a resource to our clients.

Must have for survivors

As a health and fitness professional of 25 years, breast cancer survivor, and wellness coach (coaching survivors), she is right on target with this book in helping survivors think through what they need to do to live their healthiest life. She gives a personal perspective as well as evidence based guidelines. I highly recommend this book!

AFTER CANCER TREATMENT belongs in any serious health library or collection focusing on cancer recove

Plenty of books discuss how to handle a diagnosis of cancer and how to consider and handle treatment - but very few survey what happens next. AFTER CANCER TREATMENT: HEAL FAST, BETTER, STRONGER comes from a doctor who is a cancer rehabilitation specialist and a breast cancer survivor: her guide blends personal experience and professional insights to offer up a plan for healing. From how to recognize withdrawal signs for medications to understanding the beneficial effects of proper nutrition, AFTER CANCER TREATMENT belongs in any serious health library or collection focusing on cancer recovery.

Excellent material for after cancer healing

I absolutely loved this book. The author is so thorough and very helpful for someone who has had cancer, which is my situation. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who currently has or has had cancer or even to a loved one of someone who has cancer.
