The Activist Cancer Patient : How to Take Charge of Your Treatment

Rating:
Summary: A Invaluable New Resource!
Review: I just read an extraordinary new book and I'd like to share my thoughts with you. "The Activist Cancer Patient" by Beverly Zakarian is an important new book and anyone with cancer should own this unique and exceptional resource. Ms. Zakarian, a cancer survivor, has written a moving, inspirational, and practical aid for cancer patients. While "empowerment" is the main theme, "The Activist Cancer Patient" is also a step-by-step guide on how to improve your odds of surviving cancer. It teaches people - in the midst of crisis - how to become activists for their own most effective cancer treatment, how to gain access to the newest therapies, and suggests how they can apply what they've learned to the public arena - and why they must! It provides numerous resources for getting the information needed to become informed, empowered, effective patients. Be your own advocate. "It's your life... you need to fight for it!" I know that millions of people would benefit greatly from "The Activist Cancer Patient." It's truly a "Life-Aid!" Elana Hayden
