Synopsis

This text is designed to empower patients with knowledge about their diagnosis. As a patient handbook, it contains easy-to-read guidance on risk factors, diagnosis, treatments, nutritional supports, and emotional counseling. Cancers of the head and neck affect patients in a variety of ways and perhaps more than any other group of patients require a team of physicians and health care providers to assist on this path of treatment. This book presents experience and expertise in a way that can be easily interpreted and provide rapid assistance in answering questions and provide guidance to you in your cancer journey. In addition to a description of modern therapies, this book provides a guide to healthy nutrition as well as a journal section to document the details of your cancer diagnosis and treatment. You are not alone on this journey.
