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.
