520    "According to the National Cancer Institute, there are an 
       estimated 13.7 million living Americans who are cancer 
       survivors. The institute expects that number to rise to 
       almost 18 million over the next decade. The Institute of 
       Medicine notes that patients diagnosed with cancer have an
       estimated 64% chance of surviving five years, up from 50% 
       three decades ago. And most of them have lingering 
       symptoms, both physical and emotional. The Cancer Survivor
       is a companion and guide for those millions of individuals
       who are finally done with treatments but are still on the 
       journey to wholeness. Beth Leibson completed her 
       chemotherapy and radiation in 2007. She had beat cancer, 
       but was left with lingering memory issues, exhaustion, 
       depression, pain, and the fear that at any point, the 
       cancer could return. Here she tells the story of how she 
       rebuilt her life, and shares advice from other experts, 
       addressing the emotional, medical, and professional 
       challenges of life after cancer. Here are the questions 
       you're afraid to ask ("When will my sex drive come back?"),
       the questions you hadn't yet considered ("How do I reenter
       the work force after a 'break' of a year or more?"), and 
       those you know you should be thinking about but haven't 
       had the energy for ("What supplements or alternative 
       therapies should I be taking to regain my strength?"). 
       Warm, honest, and full of sage advice, this is the book 
       Leibson wishes she had had when the nightmare of cancer 
       treatments drew to a close and the overwhelming reality of
       starting life over again began."--|cProvided by publisher.
