Jonas M.D. and Alyssa McManamon M.D., this important book advocates an approach to treatment that encompasses not just the physical but also the mental, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing of the person with cancer. Structured to Guide and Empower: Navigating the Cancer Journey:
From initial diagnosis through the continuum of care to post treatment, this section offers strategies to support healing at every stage, from diagnosis through treatment and into survivorship and beyond, tailored for both people with cancer and their caregivers. The Philosophy and Science of Whole Person Care:
