520    "When Your Life Is Touched by Cancer gently and 
       insightfully addresses the issues that accompany a cancer 
       diagnosis, especially those we think about, but hesitate 
       to bring up. Is it OK to refuse treatment? How old is too 
       old to treat cancer? Is alternative medicine worth 
       pursuing? It is important for those with cancer to figure 
       out what makes sense for them and then to communicate 
       those wishes to loved ones and physicians. The advice in 
       this book is practical and accessible and Bob Riter is 
       careful never to be pushy, because he knows that the best 
       path through cancer is different for each individual. 1.6 
       million individuals are diagnosed with cancer each year, 
       and there are 12 million people alive today who have been 
       diagnosed with cancer and each of them has dealt with the 
       disease in his or her own personal way. Bob won't tell you
       what the best path is, but he will teach you how to find 
       it for yourself"-- Provided by publisher.
