Chemotherapy and Radiation

Chemotherapy and Radiation For Dummies Kindle Edition

by Alan P. Lyss (Author), Humberto Fagundes (Author), Patricia Corrigan (Author)

An informative, compassionate guide for cancer patients and their loved ones

Each year, more than 1 million people get treated for cancer, and most of these will undergo chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or both. This reassuring, optimistic guide helps people get a handle on treatment options and explains in plain English how chemotherapy and radiation therapy really work. It offers detailed advice on how to alleviate and cope with side effects-which range from hair loss to nausea to anemia-and describes how good nutrition, meditation, support groups, and other techniques and resources can help in the recovery process.

MURTHY:

I found this book very useful during my chemotherapy. It provided answers to the many questions I faced during the 6 months of chemotherapy.

The strength of the book is the practical information that i could use in my day to day experiences.
