5.0 out of 5 stars It's a book which needs to be in any general-interest library, April 9 2007
By Midwest Book Review - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Cancer is a Word, Not a Sentence: A Practical Guide to Help You Through the First Few Weeks (Paperback)
Finally: a cancer guide for those newly diagnosed which offers up tips and advice for surviving the acceptance of the diagnosis in Cancer is a Word, Not a Sentence: A Practical Guide to Help You Through The First Few Weeks. The diagnosis begins a process which involves many choices and a steep learning curve; but it isn't usually one so time-driven as to prevent making informed decisions and getting more information on options. This book offers a clear survey of what cancer is, what a diagnosis means, and how to gain control of the medical system as a whole. It's a book which needs to be in any general-interest library as well as many a specialty health collection.

3.0 out of 5 stars HAVEN'T READ IT... BUT READ ON FOR INFO ON THE AUTHOR..., Feb 14 2012

This review is from: Cancer is a Word, Not a Sentence: A Practical Guide to Help You Through the First Few Weeks (Paperback)
I have NOT read this book... But this guy TRASHED Dr. Servan-Shreiber, who wrote ANTICANCER -- A New Way of Life, which is the best book I've ever read and given inspiration and hope to millions of people. It was a NY Times bestseller and has been translated into 35 languages.

ANTICANCER talks about lifestyle changes in diet, exercise, avoiding toxins, etc... and living an anticancer lifestyle. I saw an interview where he trashed Dr. Servan-Shreiber, and anyone, especially a physician, who doesn't believe in the power of nutrition, exercise, and lifestyle to help combat cancer, is not going to offer the best advice to a newly-diagnosed cancer patient.

BUY ANTICANCER -- A NEW WAY OF LIFE... It will CHANGE YOUR LIFE!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars An Invaluable Guide for the First Weeks, Sep 8 2010
By John F. Lehman - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Cancer is a Word, Not a Sentence: A Practical Guide to Help You Through the First Few Weeks (Paperback)
Even as a word it is one of the most terrifying to hear if it is your diagnosis. This book gives people receiving the news (and their friends and family) a comprehensive map not only about types of cancer, treatments, anti-nausiants plus pertinent organizations and web sites, but equally important, chapters on: "How to Get Back on Track," "Do I always Have to Have a Positive Attitude?" and "What Can I Do to Help Myself?"

This includes rethinking that a patient is somehow responsible, "Blaming the patient helps people who do not have the disease feel safe, and perhaps superior. If we can identify something the patient has done, and has chosen to do, that caused the cancer, then maybe, the reasoning goes, we will not get that cancer if we are careful."

There's an eye-opening section on alternate cures. Buckman is a well qualified expert who speaks a language of practical common sense for a real world that a cancer diagnosis seems to set spinning. Even if you don't read this book here is one thing you have to know. As he says, it might be the most ignored and under-publicized medical statistic in the known world: "Of all the people diagnosed with one of the cancers this year just over half will survive it and will not be troubled by it for the rest of their life." In either case, this book is essential.

Buy it, read it, share it. And do that now.
