My Review

I needed more information on this type of Cancer as my Husband has been diagnosed with it and this is just what I needed to fill in some of the blanks that "they don't tell you", it helped to give me a more detailed description of what "we" are going through now and what we can expect in the future. Some information that is available out there is just too vague for some of us who want more details to understand what is going on and what to expect.
