Janet L. Abrahm argues that all causes of suffering experienced by
people with cancer, be they physical, psychological, social, or
spiritual, should be treated at all stages: at diagnosis, during
curative therapy, in the event that cancer recurs, and during the
final months. In the second edition of this symptom-oriented guide,
she provides primary care physicians, advanced practice nurses,
internists and oncologists with detailed information and advice for
alleviating the stress and pain of patients and family members
alike.
The new edition includes the latest information on patient and
family communication and counseling, on medical, surgical, and
complementary and alternative treatments for symptoms caused by
cancer and cancer treatments, and on caring for patients in the
last days and their bereaved families. Updated case histories,
medication tables, Practice Points, and bibliographies provide
clinicians with the information they need to treat their cancer
patients effectively and compassionately.
