"Ms. Dahm has succeeded in the challenging accomplishment of delivering a well-rounded book for patients and families confronted with cancer. She guides the reader through a holistic approach to the numerous problems faced by patients with cancer and at the same time she delivers up-to-date scientific information. Through this book patients and families will come to an understanding of how to face the continuous and upcoming challenges associated with advanced cancer. Ms. Dahm's background as an experienced nurse transpires from her attention to the "important" symptoms such as pain, nausea and shortness of breath, as well as the small details of patient care...Although the true value of the book is probably as a whole, segments of it can be used as a reference manual in the care of patients with advanced cancer. It is natural to recommend this book to patients and families with advanced cancer." Paolo L. Manfredi, M.D., |
