Dispelling the commonly held belief that lung cancer is always
self-inflicted, this book guides patients, their loved ones, and
caregivers through diagnosis, acceptance, and treatment, and
provides support and hope to the tens of thousands of people coping
with this illness. Lung cancer is a serious illness-one that is
considered among medicine's most dreaded diagnoses. Alone, it's
responsible for 29 percent of cancer deaths in the United States
and causes more deaths than breast, colon, ovarian, and prostate
cancer combined! Additionally, lung cancer isn't typically
discovered until it causes symptoms, at which point options are
limited and the chances of a cure greatly reduced. But it doesn't
have to be this way. In this book, Dr. Eric Presser provides an
empowering, comprehensive guide to lung cancer for anyone seeking a
deeper understanding of the treatments available, coping with the
diagnosis, and dealing with the side effects associated with the
disease on both patients and their loved ones. His book offers a
complete resource for anyone touched by lung cancer, presenting the
latest scientifically tested information to help reduce the rates
of illness and infirmity and ultimately make lung cancer a thing of
the past. The book first covers the basic information necessary to
understand lung cancer, including lung anatomy. Dr. Presser then
identifies the six steps that will with help people cope with lung
cancer and take charge of their lives. The final section focuses on
nutrition and lung cancer in addition to practical concerns such as
health insurance, work and disability, and financial challenges.
