Samenvatting

An informative, compassionate guide for cancer patients and their loved ones Each year, more than 1 million people get treated for cancer, and most of these will undergo chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or both.

This reassuring, optimistic guide helps people get a handle on treatment options and explains in plain English how chemotherapy and radiation therapy really work. It offers detailed advice on how to alleviate and cope with side effects–which range from hair loss to nausea to anemia–and describes how good nutrition, meditation, support groups, and other techniques and resources can help in the recovery process.
