Facing the Enemy: Chronicles of a Cancer Doctor

By Robert Wall Jr.

Cancer is an extraordinary challenge that can cause a great deal of anxiety. The fear of hearing the first diagnosis; the fear of the treatment, its costs, and its consequences; and the fear of death are only a few of the concerns raised by this most dreaded of enemies. And these fears can prevent some from seeking the physical and psychological help they need. Designed to provide hope and encouragement for the patients, loved ones, and even medical practitioners working with cancer patients, "Facing the Enemy: Chronicles of a Cancer Doctor" is a compilation of stories for patients and their families to help dispel the mysteries of what cancer is, what the treatments are, and what can be done to prevent it. Told by the doctor who treated them, these stories of real cancer patients reflect real situations and real outcomes. They are full of optimism and will both inform and empower anyone facing the often-overwhelming circumstances surrounding cancer. In the vein of "The Doctor Stories" by William Carlos Williams, this book will help both patients and their loved ones as they face this most dreaded of diseases.
