Dr. Stephanie Gregory, Director of Hematology at Rush University Medical Center, recommends "Battling & Beating Cancer - The Cancer Survival Book" to cancer patients and survivors for information and inspiration. Dr. Gregory and Dr. Fung wrote the foreword to this book written by Chicago Blood Cancer Foundation founders Charlene McMann and Scott Seaman. Battling and Beating Cancer – The Cancer Survival Book is an inspiring story of a couple fighting cancer together. It provides a poignant look at cancer from the perspectives of patient and caregiver – covering the highs and lows from diagnosis, to surgery, to chemotherapy, to radiation, to follow-up, to fighting back for people impacted by cancer. It discusses: (1) the basics about cancer; (2) selecting the best doctors and treatment centers; (3) obtaining a prompt and proper diagnosis; (4) understanding medical tests and diagnostic tools; (5) surviving a hospital stay; (6) conventional treatments, revolutionary treatments, and clinical trials; (7) understanding survival rates; (8) developing a “cancer warrior” mentality; (9) taking advantage of complementary therapies and a healthy lifestyle; (10) the role of the immune system in beating cancer; (11) a national call to action to cure cancer; and much more. Battling and Beating Cancer also serves as an important survival resource for patients and families – containing a detailed listing of questions to ask the doctors at each critical phase, important tips, a checklist of legal and insurance documents, and a listing of organizations, websites, and resources available to help patients. It includes a patient’s medical information workbook to help document relevant information.
