Cancer is often associated with pain and is a frequent issue in patients with chemotherapy-induced neuropathy. The participation of patients in studies and their influence on study design is important. Patient support groups have been formed for several forms of cancer, and are helpful in dispensing advice. The treatment of cancer patients must include activities of daily living and quality of life. Often, palliative care and end-of-life care are part of the disease trajectory. As this book shows, patients do not have equal access to cancer treatment around the world, and often basic issues as diagnosis, treatment are lacking.
Living Well with Cancer
This book uses solution-focused thinking to show how life with cancer may be lived well. Written in a chatty but powerfully effective style, it is for people who have cancer, their families, and friends, as well as the health professionals who seek to help them.
