"This book is unique in that it
spans the entire potential of treatment and course of illness. It
is written with a refined technical expertise but also has a wonderful
spiritual and humanistic perspective. This enhances its value to all
patients and their families who are searching for an easy to understand
and uplifting resource. The chapters on pain and symptom control are
especially well written, as are the clinical cases and personal vignettes
Ms. Dahm shares with her readers. The section on end of life care
is superb and unlike anything I have read that is available for the
lay public. I recommend this book as an invaluable resource and companion
for any patient faced with cancer."
