Summary: Good if you don't like reading.
Comment: A good sound, quickie cancer education for the less well informed (and most people are less well informed about cancer than they think). Tells you what a cancer is and how it works, runs down the commonest types, briefly explains staging and treatment, gives some interesting statistics, diplomatically touches upon alternative and psychological curing. The publication date will tell you that the treatment part and some of the recommended medical centers are probably out of date. Will appeal to: people just coming to grips with a diagnosis.

Rating: 1
Summary: This book should be avoided
Comment: This writer is not interested in properly informing or discussing issues. He says in the book that cancer patients - especially those who have been through the mainsdtream mill - should avoid complementary/alternative treatments simply because they (these alternative treatments) will get in the way of them getting used to the idea of dying. Of all the books I read as someone seeking help for my wife who had cancer, this was and remains one of the most disgusting. Let me declare my interests. I am the author of FIGHTING CANCER - A SURVIVAL GUIDE. In the course of researching my book, this book took the prize for being the least informative.
