After a diagnosis of cancer patients usually place their treatment completely in the hands of their doctor. Cancer survivor Beverly Zakarian asserts that cancer patients can greatly increase their survival chances by taking an active role in their treatment. Many new treatment options exist but are hard to find, depriving many cancer sufferers of the life-saving care they so desperately need. This book aims to educate cancer patients on locating sources of legitimate cancer treatments that run the gamut from little-known ones to the very latest experimental therapies or drug trials.
