Produktbeschreibung

This is the book that anyone who has taken care of a loved one with cancer wished they had from the beginning. Starting with a review on why cancer pain is still an everyday tragedy when modern medical techniques can relieve it in almost every case, it teaches families everything they need to know about cancer pain and its treatments. Viewing pain as a whole-body phenomenon that comprises physical and psychological well-being, it includes the latest medical treatments and medications as well as psychological, cognitive, and spiritual approaches to coping and relieving cancer pain.
