Welcome to THE one book every single cancer patient needs to read the minute they are diagnosed. How To Be A Cancer Patient is a must read for patients, their advocates and anyone involved with caring for cancer patients. Cancer patients need two things - less stress and a plan to manage themselves and their interaction with the care system. How To Be A Cancer Patient delivers universal tools, in an easy to understand format, that addresses these vital needs for patients with any type of cancer diagnosis. The easy-to-use tools and strategies were developed through the experiences of a process driven cancer survivor who endured two surgeries, 15+ days of inpatient hospital stays for chemo and complications and 15 doses of radiation. It also includes honest, raw and sometimes hilarious accounts on how these tools were developed during the course of a LOT of cancer treatment. The book covers seven key concepts that center around three areas of emphasis:1. How To Think2. How To Advocate3. How to Act Each of the key concepts are covered in a separate chapter in the book and are arranged in the order of experiences for most patients. Each of the chapters are stand-alone helpful advice, but when taken as a whole, they are also a process to be followed to get to the ultimate outcomes of less stress and optimal interaction with the care team. Each of the tools and strategies build on the previous one - for example:Before you can advocate for yourself, you really need to have the right mental orientation so you can think clearly when you engage with your care team. Before you can fully prepare for possible side effects, you need to have an effective process to fully understand what those side effects may be and how you and your care team plan to manage them.
