Summary: Not What I Thought It Would Be
Review: I bought this book becase of the title, assuming there would be
actual "tactics" to use in helping my Mother's battle with cancer. That's not what it's about. It's more like amazing stories, and having a "go-get'em!" attitude. If you're in the mood for inspiration and pep talks this may be enjoyable reading. In my search for non-fictional sources of information on fighting cancer, this book was not helpful at all. Not to be completely negative it's not a bad book to read, it's just not
what I got the impression it was going to be about.

Summary: Just what the doctor ordered
Review: This book helped me so much, I have over the months since I read it bought 4 additional copies to give to other friends facing a cancer diagnosis. It's not really a book full of tips, but it is very inspiring, and gave me a boost when I needed it.

Summary: Absolutely indispensable
Review: We bought this book for my mother right after she was diagnosed with lung cancer. She read it straight through and said it was the most comforting thing she'd encountered since her diagnosis. The real-life stories from cancer survivors are practical, humorous, and encouraging. This book has given my mom so much strength--we can't recommend it highly enough.

Summary: Just what the doctor ordered
Review: When my healthy body-builder 28 year old son was diagnosed with kidney cancer one day and had a nephrectomy the next, we were beyond shock. Two years later, with a good prognosis, it is still a great presence that he deals with. In looking for a support group locally (and not finding one with those near his age) I happened upon Cancer Combat and in flipping through it, found the statement that it was like having a support group in one's pocket. I bought it and could not put it down because it spoke so honestly, yet positively about the ways these victims fought back; how they faced each part of the battle and handled those battles in unique ways. I have now given the book to my son and he agreed to read it. I have also told others about the positive information that every person who is dealing with cancer...whether it be themselves or loved ones should read. This is more a thank you to all those who are a part of this wonderful book. It has helped me tremendously.
