Product Description
One of the greatest failures of public health practices and policy in America is the mismanagement of colon cancer. Despite the fact that colon cancer is 90 percent preventable through safe, accessible, cost-effective screening tests, this terrible disease remains the second leading cause of cancer death. Each year, more than 150,000 Americans will die -- an unnecessary and costly human tragedy.Despite the scale of the colon cancer crisis, there are few up-to-date resources available for the newly diagnosed and their loving family and friends. Although this book was conceived as a primer for those dealing directly or indirectly with colon cancer, it is Dr. Feinberg's fervent hope that it will also increase awareness of the preventable nature of this devastating disease. |

Found this in a chemo room. I wanted one! by E of Bend, Oregon  5 Stars
February 28, 2008
2 1/2 yrs after an advanced colon cancer diagnosis, I'm still under chemo treatment and doing excellently.:) I've learned a ton! I recently found this book in the "chemo room." It seems to be "talkin' my language." I plan to buy one for myself and for others that I find myself encouraging along the way.
