Cancer Survival Guide
When cancer rears its ugly head, the worst outcome is often imagined and a sense of hopelessness tries to press in. That was Judith Bowman's experience when doctors diagnosed her seven-year-old daughter with a stage-four malignant tumor of the muscle.
In her book, THE FIERY FURNACE OF CANCER, A Survival Guide For Families Coping With Cancer, Judith shares her hands-on experience dealing with oncologists, hospitals, child protective services and the many aspects of standard cancer treatment. Her book is a simple, informative survival guide for cancer patients who choose to go through chemotherapy and related treatements including standard radiation and surgery.
Included in this informative book are several questions to ask an oncologist to help you decide at the outset if this is the doctor you want to treat your loved one. Also included are helpful Websites and contact numbers for the many organizations that exist to help families deal with the rigors of modern cancer treatment. This Website is a basic overview of our book.
The contact list includes organizations like The American Cancer Society®, Give Kids the World Village®, Ronald McDonald House Charities, Make-A-Wish Foundation® and Holisticonline.com to name a few. The back of the book includes a glossary of terms used in cancer treatment, defined in every-day language, as well as other organizations and Websites existing to help cancer patients and their families.
Without suggesting her book is one-of-a-kind, Judith shares her experience in seeking answers to what the future held for her and her family as they anticipated going through cancer therapy with their daughter.
In their search, she and her husband found no books that simply told them what to expect day-to-day through the process, so Judith wrote one. Based on a year of daily notes taken during hospital stays and doctor's visits, her book includes conversations with oncologists, nurses, hospital personnel and other cancer patients. Knowing the right questions to ask will give cancer victims measurable peace of mind during what can be a most stressful experience.
"If we had access to a book like this, many of our fears and much of our anxiety would have been alleviated,” Judith said. Her husband added, "We were overwhelmed; no one else need be."
Cancer treatments vary, but most oncology protocols call for chemotherapy, radiation and/or surgery. So, whether you are dealing with cancer of the breast, lungs, ovaries, prostate, colon, or nearly any other kind of cancer, THE FIERY FURNACE OF CANCER explains in everyday language what awaits patients who decide to go the standard cancer treatment route.
You will know what to expect step-by-step through the entire process...today, tomorrow, next week, next month and next year.
