Book An Empowering Guide to Lung Cancer

Download or read book An Empowering Guide to Lung Cancer written by Eric Presser MD and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2016-12-12 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dispelling the commonly held belief that lung cancer is always self-inflicted, this book guides patients, their loved ones, and caregivers through diagnosis, acceptance, and treatment, and provides support and hope to the tens of thousands of people coping with this illness. Lung cancer is a serious illness—one that is considered among medicine's most dreaded diagnoses. Alone, it's responsible for 29 percent of cancer deaths in the United States and causes more deaths than breast, colon, ovarian, and prostate cancer combined! Additionally, lung cancer isn't typically discovered until it causes symptoms, at which point options are limited and the chances of a cure greatly reduced. But it doesn't have to be this way. In this book, Dr. Eric Presser provides an empowering, comprehensive guide to lung cancer for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the treatments available, coping with the diagnosis, and dealing with the side effects associated with the disease on both patients and their loved ones. His book offers a complete resource for anyone touched by lung cancer, presenting the latest scientifically tested information to help reduce the rates of illness and infirmity and ultimately make lung cancer a thing of the past. The book first covers the basic information necessary to understand lung cancer, including lung anatomy. Dr. Presser then identifies the six steps that will with help people cope with lung cancer and take charge of their lives. The final section focuses on nutrition and lung cancer in addition to practical concerns such as health insurance, work and disability, and financial challenges.

Book My Parent Has Cancer and It Really Sucks

Download or read book My Parent Has Cancer and It Really Sucks written by Marc Silver and published by Sourcebooks, Inc.. This book was released on 2013-03-05 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Let's face it, cancer sucks. This book provides real-life advice from real-life teens designed to help teens live with a parent who is fighting cancer. One million American teenagers live with a parent who is fighting cancer. It's a hard blow for those already navigating high school, preparing for college, and becoming increasingly independent. Author Maya Silver was 15 when her mom was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2001. She and her dad, Marc, have combined their family's personal experience with advice from dozens of medical professionals and real stories from 100 teens—all going through the same thing Maya did. The topic of cancer can be difficult to approach, but in a highly designed, engaging style, this book gives practical guidance that includes: How to talk about the diagnosis (and what does diagnosis even mean, anyway?) The best outlets for stress (punching a wall is not a great one, but should it happen, there are instructions for a patch job) How to deal with friends (especially one the ones with 'pity eyes') Whether to tell the teachers and guidance counselors and what they should know (how not to get embarrassed in class) What happens in a therapy session and how to find a support group if you want one A special section for parents also gives tips on strategies for sharing the news and explaining cancer to a child, making sure your child doesn't become the parent, what to do if the outlook is grim, and tips for how to live life after cancer. My Parent Has Cancer and It Really Sucks allows teens to see that they are not alone. That no matter how rough things get, they will get through this difficult time. That everything they're feeling is ok. Essays from Gilda Radner's "Gilda's Club" annual contest are an especially poignant and moving testimony of how other teens dealt with their family's situation. Praise for My Parent Has Cancer and It Really Sucks: "Wisely crafted into a wonderfully warm, engaging and informative book that reads like a chat with a group of friends with helpful advice from the experts." —Paula K. Rauch MD, Director of the Marjorie E. Korff Parenting At a Challenging Time Program "A must read for parents, kids, teachers and medical staff who know anyone with cancer. You will learn something on every page." —Anna Gottlieb, MPA, Founder and CEO Gilda's Club Seattle "This book is a 'must have' for oncologists, cancer treatment centers and families with teenagers." —Kathleen McCue, MA, LSW, CCLS, Director of the Children's Program at The Gathering Place, Cleveland, OH "My Parent Has Cancer and It Really Sucks provides a much-needed toolkit for teens coping with a parent's cancer." —Jane Saccaro, CEO of Camp Kesem, a camp for children who have a parent with cancer

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If lightning doesn’t strike the same place twice, what are the odds that cancer would strike David Yates three times – and he would survive? David Yates survived serving military duty in Vietnam, only to come home and find out that he had cancer – malignant melanoma, to be exact. After surgery and recovery time, he was finally getting back on his feet when the cancer returned less than two years later. Surgery and treatment again followed, and David was back into his life – changed, but still moving forward. More than three decades later, David found himself receiving the news of a cancer diagnosis for the third time. Cancer Sucks – A True Story is David’s story. From the moment of that third diagnosis – this time for colon cancer – David was determined to see this through to its completion. He hadn’t let cancer beat him in the past, and it wouldn’t beat him this time, either.

He hadn’t let cancer beat him in the past, and it wouldn’t beat him this time, either. Cancer Sucks is no “woe is me” story, though. This is a story of survival, of making it through to the other side of illness, and – above all – of helping others to do the same. Filled not only with personal stories, but also first-hand accounts of what to expect when going through treatments, David’s story becomes a new kind of handbook for cancer patients. With practical and frank advice, David not only explains how he has made it through, but he urges us all to pay more attention to our bodies and to take our health into our own hands. Perhaps this is not just David’s story after all, but a cautionary tale for all of us.Cancer Sucks is no “woe is me” story, though.

Book excerpt: There is an epidemic going on in our country, and it’s one that can hopefully be prevented. Though the statistics speak for themselves, with the right lifestyle adjustment and healthy alternatives to our traditionally bad habits, we can work to fight cancer. It is estimated that 570,000 Americans are expected to die of cancer and another 1.5 million are to be diagnosed with cancer this year. This cancer epidemic is a very scary thing, and quite frankly is something that hits far too close to home. Too many of us have either suffered from some type of cancer in our lives, or we know somebody else who has. It’s staggering just how many instances of cancer most of us will see in our lifetimes. Sure there are some types of cancer that may be preventable from the start. Something like lung cancer that plagues a lifetime smoker may be no surprise, but is no less tragic. In many cases in this day and age though, there are plenty of forms of cancer that come out of nowhere with no warning and therefore take far too many victims. Though you may be all too familiar with cancer in some form, what you may not realize is what you can do to help keep it away or cure it. The natural remedies, the foods that we eat, and the way that we take care of ourselves may all help to contribute to fewer instances of cancer. This may sound too good to be true, but when you turn to natural remedies you may find the very answers that you are looking for. One of the best ways to prevent cancer is turning to a natural food supply and therefore eating the right foods. Nutrients and other helpful natural agents may be the very best cure for cancer in the end. “The doctor of the future will give no medication, but will interest his patients in the care of the human frame, diet, and in the cause and prevention of disease.” Thomas A Edison Reevaluating Your Diet And Why It May Not Be Working For You Over thousands of years, the human diet has evolved to include the foods that are most beneficial to our health. Fruits and vegetables are in fact the result of a process of natural selection that took place over a period of millions of years. Over the ages, our ancestors constantly adapted to environment changes and adopted the selection of foods that gave them the edge in survival. We learned how to harness that edge in the form of planting crops and farming such super foods most beneficial to our health to date. The very foods that we need and that our bodies crave tend to be the best for us. The good news is that so many of these foods come to us right from the earth. These natural and whole foods are loaded with nutrients that we need for survival and nurturing. We Are Ignoring What We Really Need In The End The bad news is that today, in the age of information and technology, most of us have neglected the importance of maintaining a nutritious diet. Though we have a sufficient offering of healthy and natural foods at our fingertips, we tend to ignore them. Rather than turning to foods for nutrition, we tend to search out convenience as the leading factor in eating each day. So though we have plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables, lean proteins, whole grains, and other such natural foods, we shy away from them. If it requires too much time or effort, we are immediately turned away. We all have too much to do and therefore don’t have time to focus on proper food preparation or fueling our bodies in the right way. Instead our choices of turning to processed and fast foods has led to booming multi-billion dollar food industries that promote thought-free eating habits. Rather than eating to nurture ourselves and to really take in key nutrients, we tend to be focused merely on satisfying the need to refuel without any concern for its long-term impact on health care. This is due in large part to why so many people get sick. In the short term eating fast foods, fatty foods, or convenience foods slowly deteriorates our immune system and leaves us with the likelihood of getting sick more often. In the long term, eating improperly can lead to much more dire consequences—and this is a major contributor to the tragic phenomenon of cancer we all see. The Sad Truth About Eating Improperly You may think that eating these processed, fatty foods isn’t making that much of a difference to your health. For every meal that you eat based on convenience rather than out of healthy fuel though, you are slowly deteriorating your health away. The fat, the empty calories, and the harmful substances and potential toxins that you consume are helping to not only add to your waistline but also contribute to worse health. Did you know, cancers related to poor dietary habits are the leading cause of cancer cases in the United States? It is right up there with the other deadly cancer associated with tobacco, which also accounts for the other 30% of cancer cases in United States. While we tend to think of smoking as the only controllable poor life choice that can lead down the path to cancer, improper eating is just as much a culprit. Focusing on proper nutrition can help to better health in the short term and the long term. This is a choice that you have control over and that can have a very positive impact in your life. Many of us are familiar with cancers caused by smoking, environmental factors, pollution and chemicals. These are the types of cancer that we envision when we think of the true epidemic. However very few are aware of cancers due to poor dietary habits. Of the millions of people suffering from various forms of cancer in the United States, 30% are caused by poor dietary habits. Over the last decade there have been numerous efforts and campaigns to make people more aware of the reality of this disease and its risk factors. This has fortunately empowered people to make drastic changes in many economic and social politics throughout the United States and worldwide. Campaigns such as the one for anti-tobacco have opened many people’s eyes and raised awareness of risks associated with smoking tobacco among many of us. Similarly, our efforts to raise awareness of risks associated with our poor dietary choices tends to be a continuous challenge. It’s time to understand the implications of eating poorly and how a lack of nutrition can ultimately lead to long term health problems and medical conditions. Why Food Can Work Better Than Medicine Sure there are certainly times when medication may be a necessity. You do want to be sure that you talk through your specific symptoms with your doctor and be in tune with the big picture. Suffice it to say though that a lot of medical professionals simply underestimate the great power that food can really have.... ...

Download or read book Lung Cancer written by Stephen Falk and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2009-10-14 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lung cancer is the most common cancer affecting the industrialized world and affects the lives of thousands of people, including patients' friends and family, every year. The most common cause of lung cancer is long-term exposure to tobacco smoke. The occurrence of lung cancer in nonsmokers, who account for as many as 15% of cases, is often attributed to a combination of genetic factors, radon gas, asbestos, and air pollution, including secondhand smoke. The aim of this book is to give, in a clear and simple way, succinct information about all aspects of this type of cancer, with a stress on the practical side of its treatment. The book also details how care is likely to be organised and what patients can do to help themselves, both if they have the disease and also how to stop smoking. Fully updated for this third edition, the book includes information on getting the best treatment and living with cancer, both of which are new approaches to the disease in the UK.

Download or read book This is Cancer written by Laura Holmes Haddad and published by Seal Press. This book was released on 2016-11-08 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cancer is indiscriminate. It cares little for class, creed or color. Its patients are literally everywhere. When Laura Holmes Haddad was diagnosed, she discovered shelf upon shelf of overly-earnest, somber, gray survival books, and knew there had to be a better way. This Is Cancer is the thoughtful, informative fabulous-looking result for those who prefer their pathos with equal parts humor and reality and a touch of flair. A "what to expect when you're expecting" book for the diagnosis you don't want but are stuck with, This Is Cancer is the book that patients keep in their "heading to the hospital bag," because it's the only one that tells them what's going on and keeps them company. Including such useful snippets as: There is no limit to what you will put yourself through when told it might save your life. Stay away from the Internet. And don't let anyone tell you "what they looked up" about your diagnosis. You'll be surrounded by people but you'll feel lonely, and alone, sometimes. Lexapro is Tylenol for the soul. If you don't like your doctor(s), find new ones. You will feel somewhat at the mercy of them, like they hold the key to your mortality, but in fact more than one doctor can potentially save you and some are nice and some are mean. Whether you or your loved ones want a primer full of useful information in an easy to reference format or a friendly and comforting read, the honest, grave, and mordantly funny stories and tips from young survivors will bring you the real intel and advice that you need most during this tremendously difficult time.
