Description: Written from the perspective of experienced oncology nurses along with commentary from cancer patients, this valuable little resource provides both authoritative and practical answers concerning cancer treatment options, post-treatment concerns, quality of life, and resources for managing the physical and emotional consequences of this potentially overwhelming disease.
Purpose: According to the authors, the book is designed to maximize quality of life in cancer patients and their significant others by answering many of their questions and concerns, and in doing so, to help allay some of their fears and encourage active participation in managing the illness, treatment, and care.
Audience: The targeted audience is newly diagnosed cancer patients, long-term survivors, families, and friends.

The specific content areas are pertinent, easy to comprehend, and covered in sufficient depth to be useful to cancer patients, their families, and friends. Additional resources are suggested for more in-depth information. The book should enhance the patient and family's quality of life by increasing their confidence in discussing the illness and treatment options and by assisting with the management of treatment-related challenges.
