Coping With Chemotherapy
Availability: In Stock (Usually ships within 24-48 hours.)
Breast cancer survivor Nancy Bruning knows firsthand the fear and confusion that surround the decision to undergo chemotherapy. After having the treatment herself, Nancy wrote Coping With Chemotherapy a comprehensive resource to provide cancer patients with the facts they need, not only to make well-informed decision but also to make the therapy and its side effects less frightening.
Now completely revised and updated, this warm insightful guide for cancer patients facing the prospect of chemotherapy incorporates the latest discoveries and research, as it details every step of the process with a candor and an authority not found in other books on the subject. Bruning tackles topics even doctors may not broach, including possible sexual and emotional side effects and ways to deal with them. The book describes the drugs used in chemotherapy and offers an honest discussion about how you might feel after taking them, and how to feel better. In addItion, it offers an outline of alternative treatment options; mind body, and spirit support; and diet and exercise advice. A generous resources section lists contact information for support groups, hotlines, websites, and the like.
If you or someone you love may have to decide on whether to undergo chemotherapy, you need not feel alone. Coping with Chemotherapy presents a frank but comforting look at chemotherapy-its side effects and its benefits-and gives the facts as well as support.
