Product Description
M. Sara Rosenthal, Ph.D., bestselling author of The Thyroid Sourcebook (recommended by The New York Times), The Thyroid Sourcebook for Women and The Hypothyroid Sourcebook has just published The Thyroid Cancer Book, the only consumer book to date devoted to thyroid cancer. A thyroid cancer survivor herself, Rosenthal wrote the book she wishes she'd had when diagnosed in 1983. The Thyroid Cancer Book explains all forms of thyroid cancer and its treatment in plain language. It was written in consultation with the leading medical experts on thyroid cancer in North America, and is the only book of its kind in the world. It includes extensive information on: * Significant risk factors for developing the disease, and how to find and investigate lumps in the neck * Papillary and follicular thyroid cancers, as well as the less common medullary and anaplastic cancers * Treatment options, surgery and radioactive iodine * Post-treatment follow up, whole body scans and Thyrogen * Self-healing and complementary therapies * The emotional impact of cancer on families and loved ones * Palliative care While thyroid cancer accounts for roughly two percent of all cancers, it's among the fastest growing cancers in incidence. Its causes in North America are associated with fallout from nuclear testing in the American midwest, and environmental causes which Rosenthal also writes about in detail. What thyroid cancer survivors are saying about The Thyroid Cancer Book: M. Sara Rosenthal is a sociologist and bioethicist who completed her Ph.D. at The University of Toronto Joint Centre for Bioethics. She is author of more than 25 books and is an Associate of the University of Toronto Centre for Health Promotion, as well as Medical Ethicist for The American Foundation for Thyroid Patients. |

The Thyroid Cancer Book by M. Wood (Indiana)  5 Stars
September 06, 2009
I have had Thyroid cancer and have relied on all of her Thyroid books since my surgery. I wish I had known about these books BEFORE my surgery. I would reccommend to anyone who has Thyroid Cancer. Be sure to check out the other books she has published.

Informative by M. Rodriguez (USA, New York)  4 Stars
March 30, 2009
I like it because it has a lot of links on the end off the book. It is informative but in some parts to long winded. I like that she can tell from her experience as a thyroid cancer survivor.
And at the end she has some alternative healing methods.
All in one a good book.

Out of date information by April (California)  1 Stars
February 28, 2008
The book is very out of date and not organized well at all. It does not answer more than 50% of the questions I had regarding this disease.
At 186 pages (at least 1/3 was filler regarding general issues on healing and disease. . . something I could get from almost any web site on serious illness), this book is certainly not worth the expensive price. I would not recommend it at all. Visit the web sites specifically for thyroid cancer and you can educate yourself much more
thoroughly than by buying this book.

A good solid introduction by Puppys in AZ (Tucson, AZ) 4 Stars
January 25, 2008
I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in 2005. I bought this book almost immediately afterwards. I only had a small tumor, so this was a little bit of overkill for me, but it convinced me to have surgery so I didn't get any farther along. There isn't much out there when it comes to thyroid cancer. When I bought this book, it was the only one I could find. I would definitely recommend it if you or a family member has been diagnosed.
