5.0 out of 5 stars Best, most comprehensive book of its kind
Reviewed in the United States on July 2, 2010
Verified Purchase
Dr. Dollinger's book is the most thorough, up to date and easy to understand source of information for those dealing with cancer therapies. It is written in terms anyone can understand, even the most complex and difficult aspects of treatment are explained so that the patient and family can be informed and make good decisions. This increases peace of mind and assists in healing. It is an oasis of information, clearly and calmly presented, in a desert of fear and confusion perceived by many cancer patients. Use this book and get better.

4.0 out of 5 stars Incomplete & biased but encyclopaedic
Reviewed in the United States on February 21, 1998
Since most reviews will focus on the strength of this book - its encyclopaedic coverage - I will focus on its flaws: The first thing to note is that it is virulently anti-alternative medicine - yet this is a subject that deserves more than the diatribe it receives. The authors provide inadequate discussion and no evidence at all to support their views. They are also curiously dishonest: search the index as you will, you will find no reference to `Free radicals' - yet it is common knowledge that these are implicated in cancer causation. Why is there no discussion? Because, free radicals exist and the way to deal with them is through anti-oxidant vitamins like vitamin C. But the authors are rabidly anti-vitamin C. This sin of omission reveals that although this is a worthy book in many ways, in others it is simply a vehicle for mainstream medical propoganda - and that is sad.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is the greatest book I believe for cancer patients
Reviewed in the United States on November 19, 2014

This is the greatest book I believe for cancer patients. It is so full of up to date information. You find and read your own problems and learn what meds and procedures will work and you and your Dr. can choose. You learn things your team may not inform you about. And the Questions to ask in advance and during and after your care.

This book I have given to about 10 others. It was given to me 15 years ago by a friend an I'm returning the favor to others.

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential to fighting cancer
Reviewed in the United States on September 24, 2013
Verified Purchase
I first bought this book in 1992 when my sister had cancer. It educated me quickly on what questions I should be asking and to who.

I kept it by my side through numerous trips to the National Cancer Institute and local doctors. It not just a description of the different type of cancers but contains good advice on pain control, nausea, depression and other related subjects. Without this book or one similar, you are just like a lamb going to the slaughterhouse. You will be run over by the huge medical system.

Since then, I have purchased it for friends who have been diagnosed with cancer. I am afraid I have purchased far too many.

Unfortunately, a dear employee of mine's child has just come down with sarcoma so I find myself ordering it again as I know it will be helpful.

I work as a therapist at a Cancer Center and am constantly looking through this book to ensure I am capturing a thorough understanding of my patients' diagnoses. I found it incredibly helpful, informative, and translatable to individuals with varying experience and involvement with cancer treatment.

I had an older edition that I used for several years. I upgraded to the revised 5th edition and have already used it. The information is organized in a way that makes researching questions easy. Some of my friends and family ask me to look up cancer information for them and the types of cancer section is the best I have seen.

Higly recommend. Great to have around so when you have questions this book will answer them, as we often have questions when a doctor is not around to answer them. Sometimes we may may not want to ask a question well this book lets you find your answers in the privacy of you home. I had 2 previos versions and I preordered this one as the others were very useful and this one has been also.
