Synopsis "Crushing Cancer A Patient's Complete Guide to (in English)"
What to do from Hour One, Day One of a Cancer Diagnosis 1.8 million people will be diagnosed with cancer in the United States this year. 1.8 million will get news that they can't quite believe andhave their world changed in the space of a few sentences. If you are reading this, chances are your life has been impacted by acancer diagnosis. As scary as that word is when you first hear it, the reality is that modern medicine is getting better every day at beating cancer, and in a growing number of cases, cure or maintenance is becoming the expected outcome.And we're just starting to enter the age of immunotherapy. Cancer, however, requires more than just good science-based medicinal treatment. It affects every facet of your life and this bookaddresses just that: Every facet of your life during cancer. We will look at what to do from Day One, Hour One of your diagnosis. Managing a cancer diagnosis is taking care of your finances and workplace, making sure you are legally protected, and that you can deal withall the needs, complications, and emergencies that arise. You have to fight this fight while you protect your family and keep a roof over your head. I wrote this book with the help of dozens of experts including medical doctors from numerous fields, pharmacists, and researchers. In additionto the medical aspects, I interviewed lawyers, accountants, counselors, oncology nurses, oncology patient navigators, and clergy (from various faiths)who all joined to create this resource for you. The book was specially designed with a font to be easily read under the harsh clinical lighting, you are likely to encounter and I avoid medical jargon boiling down the information you need to know in a way the average reader can understand it. The book is sized to fit in the average"Practical" purse or a briefcase/backpack and no hardcover exists because the book has to be flexible enough to be stuffed where ever it can fit. There are also downloadable resources such as medical information sheets, checklists for your medical bugout bag, and financialspreadsheets. I use QRT codes to connect you to legal forms you'll need as well. This book has been favorably compared to "What to Expect When You're Expecting" for people diagnosed with cancer. Cancer is a fight. Knowledge is the best weapon you can have. This book is written for you to arm yourself and TO WINLet's get to work!
