Frequently Asked Questions about Cancer Decisions for You and Your Family

By Colleen Ryckert Cook

The cancers are a ubiquitous group of diseases that will affect an individual's life in some way or another. A diagnosis of cancer for a patient or loved one automatically generates questions. Oncologists have different techniques when delivering the prognosis--including allowing the news to 'sink in' before going further into details while others share so much that the details get lost in the emotional overload. This leaves a person desperate for honest and uncomplicated answers. This book presents the most commonly asked questions and provides compassionate, helpful answers.
