By identifying the common questions and concerns of caregivers, 100 Questions & Answers About Caring for Family or Friends with Cancer will prepare caretakers for the practical issues that often arise (such as, "How do I find a good doctor?") and help find ways to better cope with the inevitable emotional issues of caring for a loved one with cancer.
