Written by the survivors and professionals who founded the cancer survivorship movement, A Cancer Survivor's Almanac provides essential up-to-date, practical information on: * The latest information in medical diagnosis, treatment, pain control, and long-term and late effects of cancer treatment * Health insurance — how to find and keep it under the most current laws (including the federal health reform law which takes effect in 1997) * Tips on how to find and work with the best doctors and hospitals * Understanding the risks and benefits of unconventional treatments * How to win the battle against job discrimination * Clear answers to legal and financial questions * How to cope with the personal and social impact of cancer * Communicating with family and friends, including dealing with grief and loss * The benefits of peer support, with tips on starting your own peer-support network * Advocating for yourself and others In addition, an expanded Resource Section lists hundreds of organizations and agencies that offer help regarding specific cancer-related issues and explains how to find cancer information through the Internet. Cancer survivors and their caregivers, families, and friends share their greatest gifts to today's survivors— the power of knowledge. No cancer journey is easy. This book, however, provides the information, understanding, support, and resources to help dispel the myths and improve the quality of life with, through, and beyond cancer. All royalties from the sales of this book benefit the National Coalition for Cancer Survivorship.
