Great book!

Everything you need to know about cancer is in this book. I am a CTR(Certified Tumor Registrar) and I work with cancer patients charts daily and I have used this as a resource a lot! Great book to buy!

If you have cancer, get this book.

This book is so much easier to have on hand than a Nurses reference book. It simply and directly defines just about all cancer terms and most diseases. It also has a reference section in the back that gives you addresses and phone numbers of important cancer organizations. I like how quick and simple it is to use. More pictures and drawings would be nice. But the ones they used were the most important ones for me. Don't leave this one off your list.
