About this title

From the Publisher

Covers everything patients want to know about lung cancer.
How can you help someone who has lung cancer? How about a hug...and a copy of "Living With Lung Cancer"? "Living With Lung Cancer" provides strightforward, easy-to-understand information about diagnostic tests, treatments and their side effects, nutrition, the likely prognosis even coping with emotions and paying bills. The text conveys optimism but does not avoid discussing the potential harsh reality of this disease. By interviewing a large number of patients and their spouses, the authors learned the countless questions they have, including those that patients find difficult to ask in a doctor's office. The result is a book that helps people cope--with the disease, its treatment, and perhaps most of all, their nameless fears. "Living With Lung Cancer", now in it 4th edition, has been in print continuously for more than 21 years. The new edition was revised by Eloise Harman, MD, professor and chief, division of pulmonary medicine, University of Florida College of Medicine, Gainesville, Florida. It was developed with support from the National Cancer Institute (NIH).
