The definitive guide for preparing for--and recovering from--cancer
treatment.
A twelve-year cancer survivor and oncology rehabilitation specialist,
Dr. Julie K. Silver wrote After Cancer Treatment to help others
recover from the exhaustion and physical devastation that often follow
treatment. This new edition of the book, retitled Before and After
Cancer Treatment, describes improved therapies, better delivery of
care, holistic care options, and energetics. In covering the benefits of
prehabilitation strategies, which improve physical and emotional
strength before beginning therapy, the book adds another dimension to
the experience of cancer treatment.
Dr. Silver fills this survivor-oriented book with exercise and diet
recommendations as well as step-by-step instructions for fighting
fatigue, monitoring mood, and overcoming setbacks. Readers are
encouraged to set balanced goals, take time to heal, and consult both
conventional and alternative medicine.
Most people will live for many years after their initial cancer
diagnosis--often cured or in remission. Some will live with cancer as a
chronic condition. The goal is always to live life to the fullest, which
means feeling as strong as possible--physically and emotionally. Dr.
Silver recommends daring to dream again and preparing for the future.
Wherever they are in their own journey with cancer, readers will find
here a personal, practical, and powerful guide to recovery.
