MANAGING CANCER TAKES A HUMAN APPROACH

MANAGING CANCER addresses the particular needs of African Americans and helps them to achieve earlier diagnosis and thus better cures. There is much that can be done to prevent cancer before it begins and this book fully covers over twenty types of cancers in language every reader can understand. MANAGING CANCER is well-written, thoroughly researched and accessible and speaks to readers through personal stories involving patients, the senior author himself, and his family. Many of these stories are poignant, revealing examples of how the human spirit can endure and even triumph when faced with crises. This is a book that will educate, inspire, and improve the life of African Americans from all walks of life.
