«The By-Your-Side Cancer Guide» by Deborah Gomer

When you've been diagnosed with cancer, life becomes a roller coaster of overwhelming questions and emotions. How do I understand my insurance? How do I choose a physician? What is the best treatment plan? How do I manage symptoms and side effects?
Then there are the questions that tend to be avoided. How do I deal with my feelings? How do I keep my spirits up? How do I address intimacy and sexuality? What if my cancer recurs?
As an award-winning oncology nurse and a cancer survivor, Deborah Gomer understands the questions and the emotions. She understands the need to take control of that roller coaster. In her search for a resource to recommend to her patients, she was unable to find a book that answered all of the questions her patients had been asking. So she set out to chart a comprehensive course for coping with a cancer diagnosis. In The By-Your-Side Cancer Guide,  Deborah walks you through diagnosis, treatment, and beyond with honesty and understanding. As a certified health coach, she provides the tools you need to find your inner strength and navigate your journey.
