One in three Americans will be diagnosed with cancer during his or her lifetime. After diagnosis patients usually place their treatment completely in the hands of their doctor. Cancer survivor Beverly Zakarian asserts that cancer patients can greatly increase their survival chances by taking an active role in their treatment. It's amazing how many new treatment options exist but are hard to find, depriving many cancer suffers of the life- saving care they so desperately need. this book educates cancer patients on locating sources of legitimate cancer treatments that run the gamut from little-known ones to the very latest experimental therapies or drug trials.
