Lung cancer is the number a single cancer killer in the U.S., with more than 170,000 new circumstances diagnosed each and every year. Regardless of this, it receives small interest from the media and small sympathy from the public. Those with lung cancer suffer more blame and stigma than other cancer patients, even although 50 percent of them are former smokers or have by no means smoked.

    The Patient’s Book about Lung Cancer, May 26, 2001
    By A Customer
    This review is from: Lung Cancer: Making Sense of Diagnosis, Treatment, and Options (Paperback)

    This is the book that patients and families really need to allow them to deal with Lung Cancer. Clear, practical, concise, and informative; you’ll find useable information about everything you ever wanted to know about this disease .

    Meticulous medical information about symptoms, treatments, and what to expect are provided in clear language that patients can understand. Patient stories flow through the book to bring the human side of this disease. Coping strategies are here, and so is empowering information about insurance, decision making, and end of life issues.

    As a cancer patient advocate, I strongly recommend this book for patients, caregivers, and professionals.

    My wife recently got diagnosed with lung cancer. What then followed, among many other things, was a frantic, intense search for information and enlightenment. This book is by far the best, most comprehensive and enlightening book on the matter. You are far better prepared to face the challenges, choices and complexities of lung cancer treatment with this book by your side. Our deep gratitude to the author for producing this book.

    You read a lot of books, when you have a relative with lung cancer. This book gives you an overview of the most common options you have, without the depressing statistics about lung cancer. If you fight for your health, statistics aren’t that important after all.
    However, there are a lot of pages about coping with cancer ‘socially’, which may be important to some people, but that is information I was not really looking for. And the health system in de USA is a different from the system in Europe (dealing with doctors, insurance, that kind of things).
    But it is by far the best introduction book about lung cancer I have been reading so far. I keep using it over and over again. So: recommended, also if you live in Europe.
