Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great Book!
This was a great book. It provided details about what to expect, and offered solutions. It even covered the emotional aspects of dealing with treatments, for both patients and caregivers.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Basic and useful
There is so much conflicting information out there but this book is helpful and nonjudgmental. In other words they are not guilt tripping you about how you brought this illness on yourself.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Getting Through It
This was my Bible during chemotherapy. It answered all my questions, cleared up my misconceptions, and overall let me view my treatment as a positive, healing process. I ordered a new copy to donate to my local breast cancer group.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Must-have
Since my diagnosis three weeks ago I have checked out and read every book on chemo and radiation in my county's library system.

Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Little info for Radiation
I bought this book expecting information for dealing with radiation. There was very little information on radiation at all. The book may be useful for Chemotherapy patients (which is why I give it two stars). It had no stars of value for me dealing with radiation. My doctor told me more. "Cancer for dummies" and "just get me through this" have more information.
