Zusammenfassung:"Panic is the common initial reaction from a person diagnosed with cancer. Most patients, with a lack of knowledge about the nature of cancer and the treatment options, become anxious to learn about cancer and how to overcome the notorious disease. However, it is not easy for cancer patients to gain a comprehensive understanding of the scientific and medical knowledge about cancer. The main reason is that the information needed is scattered in many different resources, and the information is complex and difficult for ordinary people to understand. In an attempt to help ordinary people understand cancer and its medical science, the author has written this book in an easy-to-understand style, so that patients can manage cancer more effectively in their life time. Providing information for patients to understand the why, how, and what with each step of treatment plan, as well as a realistic range of possible outcomes, is very important. Information can help patients reduce anxiety and give patients a greater sense of ownership in their treatment process. The sense of ownership is imperative to growing a positive attitude for patients fighting cancer. This book is a one-stop shop, easy-to-understand guidebook for cancer patients to understand: Why and how do people get the cancer? Can we prevent the cancer? What is the difference between cancer and other diseases? What should we do if cancer is diagnosed or progressed? How can we treat the cancer? Where does the cancer treatment end?"--
