Produktbeschreibung

When you've been diagnosed with cancer, life becomes a roller coaster of overwhelming questions and emotions. How do I understand my insurance? How do I choose a physician? What is the best treatment plan? How do I manage symptoms and side effects?

Then there are the questions that tend to be avoided. How do I deal with my feelings? How do I keep my spirits up? How do I address intimacy and sexuality? What if my cancer recurs?

As an award-winning oncology nurse and a cancer survivor, Deborah Gomer understands the questions and the emotions. She understands the need to take control of that roller coaster. In her search for a resource to recommend to her patients, she was unable to find a book that answered all of the questions her patients had been asking. So she set out to chart a comprehensive course for coping with a cancer diagnosis. In The By-Your-Side Cancer Guide, Deborah walks you through diagnosis, treatment, and beyond with honesty and understanding. As a certified health coach, she provides the tools you need to find your inner strength and navigate your journey.

Within the pages of The By-Your-Side Cancer Guide, you will find information on:

• Taking the first steps after diagnosis
• Understanding insurance and finding resources
• Choosing the right team and the right treatment
• Managing side effects
• Caring for your emotions and your spirit
• Nourishing your body
• Addressing recurrence

The By-Your-Side Cancer Guide will serve as a compassionate, concise guide to strengthen your mind, body, and spirit so you can be empowered, proactive, and prepared to take control of your medical care and your life.
