The cancers are a ubiquitous group of diseases that will affect an individual's life in some way or another. A diagnosis of cancer for a patient or loved one automatically generates questions.

This leaves a person desperate for honest and uncomplicated answers. This book presents the most commonly asked questions and provides compassionate, helpful answers.
