Description
Just got bad news? Accelerate your cancer learning curve. The biggest impact that a patient and caregiver can have on the outcome of treatment is the selection of the right treatment team and learning how to contribute to that team's effort. Learn what to do next, NOW!
A cancer diagnosis; perhaps the only time during the human experience when the axiom, “It could always be worse,†does not apply. First, the wind is knocked out of you when the doctor says, “we have found something.†Next, you are overwhelmed, confused and terrified while researching your diagnosis in books and online. After that you enter what feels like a gauntlet; surgery, recovery, radiation, chemotherapy, nausea, transfusions and ultimately agonizing in the waiting room, while the doctor reads the follow-up scan.
If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with cancer, you need information—fast. In addition to dealing with the blow of a cancer diagnosis, during the next few weeks, you will have many questions and you will face critical decisions:Â
What is Cancer?Â
What do I do first?Â
Where should I go for treatment?Â
Should I get a second opinion?Â
What does it mean to be a caregiver?
Take a deep breath. “The Patient and Caregiver’s Guide to Cancer†can help. The author of this guide, Rhett Butler has both personal and professional experience on the cancer journey. His firsthand experiences and additional training and expertise bring real-life practicality and wisdom to guide you through the challenges ahead. By reading this guide, you’ll have a better understanding of the important decisions that need to be made once cancer is suspected or diagnosed.Â
Your first steps are vital. A patient with cancer needs a lot of support on the road ahead from friends, family—and from health care providers. The most important thing you can do to improve your outcome is choose the right treatment team. This guide will teach you what to look for in a cancer care provider and how you can contribute to the treatment.Â
“The Patient and Caregiver’s Guide to Cancer†also prepares the caregiver for the wide range of responsibilities to come and how to best advocate for the patient. In addition, you’ll gain a better understanding of clinical trials, which may become part of your journey.Â
It’s time to empower yourself. This guide arms you with key information to make smart decisions about what to do FIRST. By taking a few hours to read the book, you’ll be well-prepared for your first meeting with the cancer specialist and feel more confident as you go forward on the cancer journey.
