Lung Cancer: Myths, Facts, Choices -- And Hope

Lung cancer kills more women than breast cancer, more men than prostate cancer. Here are new, authoritative, lifesaving strategies for those already diagnosed and those at risk (including ex-smokers). Here is current advice, along with inspiring quotes from survivors. This comprehensive and compassionate book can help: understand how the lungs work and how cancer develops; pinpoint risk factors and the sometimes surprising symptoms, like back pain or swollen fingertips, that can signal a problem; learn how to find the best doctors and the latest treatments; remain healthy, active, and pain-free during and after treatment; and cope with emotional and practical concerns, such as telling the children, dealing with guilt and getting the most out of your insurance.Henschke, Claudia I. is the author of 'Lung Cancer: Myths, Facts, Choices -- And Hope', published 2002 under ISBN 9780756790516 and ISBN 0756790514.
