Everyone's Guide to Cancer Survivorship: A Road Map for Better Health

A Survivor's Road Map

Cancer itself is only the first obstacle. Continued survival becomes an equally difficult challenge upon completion of successful treatment. Everyone's Guide to Cancer Survivorship: A Road Map For Better Health (Andrews McMeel Publishing, $19.95) provides a clear path through post-treatment life in order to reduce the risk of second and recurrent cancers and create a healthier future.

Dr. Ernest H. Rosenbaum and a team of 34 oncology specialists and medical contributors leave no area uncovered. All aspects of survivorship and caretaking are touched upon, including:

• Strategies and solutions for cancer survivors, including care, screening guidelines, and plans
• Information on maintaining a healthy lifestyle and high quality of life by exercising and eating healthy
• How to prevent and control recurrent cancer and comorbid diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and osteoporosis
• The importance of using creative expression through music and art to enhance survival
• Methods of controlling ongoing side effects such as lymphedema, infertility, sexual dysfunction, fatigue and sleep disorders, infections, and incontinence

Cancer survival rates are generally increasing and will only continue to grow with advances in diagnosis, treatment, and care. With Everyone's Guide to Cancer Survivorship, survivors and their supporters will have the information they need to ensure that these rates keep moving upward.
