We who work in this field every day realize
the special contribution that Living with Cancer can make
to those who have been recently diagnosed with the disease.
The possibility that this book could be available for oncologists
and radiologists to hand to patients at the time of diagnosis
is very appealing. We could help save an enormous amount
of pain and financial loss. |

Living with Cancer addresses.

This is the first comprehensive patient-to-patient
briefing about what goes on in the fight against cancer
that I have seen. The value of this message in terms of
lives and fortunes saved will be enormous. It will be the
greater because Mr. Visel puts the message into a clear,
simple form that encourages broad use by the oncology community,
support groups, employers, family counselors, educators,
and others. |

I was very impressed with Living with Cancer.
It fills a niche that has previously been ignored. The
content as well as the really practical “how to” aspect
is its greatest characteristic. |

I am convinced that Living with Cancer will be a tremendous assist to the large number of people who need to navigate through very difficult times while they are being treated for cancer. |

Living with Cancer presents a road map that has been needed for years and should be required reading for those that seek an active role in their treatment for this dreaded disease. |

Every 22 seconds, 24/7, another American
is found to have one of cancer’s more life-threatening
forms. Ideally, each of those diagnoses should be accompanied
by the distribution of another copy of Dave Visel’s
Living with Cancer. Dr. Lieber also served as Medical Editor for the book.

This book represents something that I have
long wished I could give not only to my patients and their
families, but also to my own family, friends and neighbors.
Dr. Fisch also wrote the foreword to Living with Cancer. |
