1 The Book To Have By Your Side
All about lung cancer for the layperson. This book is a must-read for current and former smokers. About 25% of adult Americans still smoke even after years of learning that it is a very deadly habit. This is because the nicotine in tabacco is highly addictive. Sadly over 80% of lung cancer is caused by smoking. The human body is just not designed to handle all of the dread toxins that smoking puts into the lungs and the rest of the body. This is one of the most deadly forms of human cancer. This book is a valuable resource explaining both the challenges and choices faced by a lung cancer sufferer and his/her family.
2 5 year Lung Cancer Survivor
As a 5 year+ Lung Cancer Survivor, I have read many books on this life threatening disease. This one is by far the best! It is accurate, enlightening, and very understandable to a layman. It is easy to read and I highly recommend it!
3 This Is My Cancer Guide!
My mother was recently diagnosed with Stage IV Lung Cancer and this book has been by our sides the whole time. I was quite impressed with the book's clarity of details and "understandability". So often , information in books regarding illnesses of this magnitude can clutter and confuse the mind, this book set me straight. We were able to understand the physicians during various appointments and we were able to ask good questions. Knowledge allowed us a little bit of control in a very out of control situation, and I believe this book helped tremendously.
