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. 606 $aLungs$xCancer 606 $aLungs$xCancer$xDiagnosis 606 $aLungs$xCancer$xTreatment 615 0$aLungs$xCancer. 615 0$aLungs$xCancer$xDiagnosis. 615 0$aLungs$xCancer$xTreatment. 676 $a616.99/424 700 $aPresser$b Eric$01249238 801 0$bDLC 801 1$bDLC 801 2$bDLC 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910151747303321 996 $aAn empowering guide to lung cancer$92895045 997 $aUNINA
