Lung-Cancer Books

This is a wonderful children's book. The author and the artist are both wonderful. Mr. Auxier has a way of getting to children, about topics they usually don't want to listen to. This book is about smoking, he just has a way of getting through in a fun way to children!!

This book has a meaningful story to tell and really cool characters. Even the characters' names are full of meaning. It is a great blend of fantasy and reality. I've given it as gifts to many of the people I love and want to have in my life for many years to come.

What I like about Where Have All The Dragons Gone? is it is a good adventure book for someone to read.

Where are all of the reviewers gone, Because this book is great!!!! The book "Where Have all the Dragons Gone" teaches people a good lesson, and that's a very valuble lesson. Everyone should own this book. The lesson it teaches people is not to smoke!! It's a great book!!

The book WHERE HAVE ALL THE DRAGONS GONE? is a really good book to read. It teaches you not to smoke and why Komodo Dragons lost their ability to breathe fire. It also says why Komodo Dragons are so dark. The illustrator, Regina Daniels, is good too!

This is by far the best and most thorough book ever written (along with it companion texts) on Qigong and Qigong Therapy. This is a must have for any library thats includes Chinese medicine, Qigong or mysticism. There is a lifetime of information contained in these texts.

While on our first real "adventure" after 34 years of marriage, we wound up at a condo in Florence, OR.
My husband wasn't well, so we only walked a little in Old Florence, supper at Waterfront Depot and retired for the evening.
With no TV to watch, I looked for a magazine or book to browse through.
I picked up Capricorn Lady II and didn't want to set in down.
After I read about Florence, Eugene and Captain Dan being sick, I started to read passages to my husband.
Here we were in that very town, on an adventure like no other and "my captain" not well. I read until I couldn't anymore, I wanted to know their whole story.
Even though we are "land lovers", we still had so much in common with the author and her Captain.
The strength, courage and endurance Judith showed, time after time, helped me to deal with a sick husband a long way from home.
Capricorn Lady II was a blessing when I really needed a friend.
Once home, I found Voyage of the Capricorn Lady Book I, to read.....the rest of their story.

Sail along with Dan and Judi and the Lady in the second book of their life as they charter the best sailboat and motor yacht in the BVI. You can almost smell the briny sea and taste Judi's gourmet meals as page after page unfolds a story of life on the ocean and the people they encounter. After reading Judi's story, I felt a strong bond with her and now know why I admired her so much when chartering. Her books are a pure delight.

The Voyage of The Capricorn Lady is a voyage anyone can take without leaving your living room. From the moment I began reading, I understood that Judi was not only sharing with us a wonderful part of her life, but developing a bittersweet peace within herself as she wrote. She writes simply and beautifully as she takes us on a voyage of success, failure, and success, peppered with the determination and self doubt we all experience. As we come to know Judi and Dan, we can relate to their difficult choices, and we can rejoice in their happiness.

Throughout this journey, we are confident that Dan and Judi's business savvy, and devotion to family and each other will inspire them through their most difficult times.
These books are not only a tribute to a man by his wife, but a true to life experience of living a dream laced with laughter, danger,and above all love...

This is a true story of a man and a woman destined to meet and share a life of adventure, laughter, tragedy and love. From their first lunch together in 1964, to their last embrace in April 2003, Daniel Gilman and Judith Bauer epitomized the term "soul mates".
Book one takes us on their journey from the world of high level real estate, through an abrupt departure on their 40' sail boat Capricorn and finally to the Caribbean. The agony of leaving family and possessions behind is gradually softened by their new lives, new friends and a grand new world.
Through a tapestry of defeats and accomplishments, Judi takes us with her on a cruise through her most cherished years with her "Danny" by her side. We experience their hartache and their hard earned victories. As we sail with them on the Capricorn from island to island to the acquisition of their motor yacht, Capricorn Lady, we eat, swim, dive, and tour their stunningly beautiful yet at times unforgiving part of the world.

Judi's vivid and deeply personal account of their life together leaves the reader with an enticing anticipation for book two. These books are just not for those who shared the experience of a cruise with Dan and Judi. It is for the romantic, the gourmet, and the adventurer in all of us.

In Book 1, we meet Captain Dan and his "Capricorn Lady", Judi. Overcoming unbelievable personal challenges, they continue charting their course on the 71 foot luxury Trumpy Motor yacht. "Capricorn Lady" is a labor of love, and we live each moment with Dan and Judi. Charter guest stories are touching, funny and human nature at its best! Book 2 takes you on many trips around the British Virgins, and you feel like you are also escaping on the "Lady," savouring each adventure with the Gilmans and their guests. Book 2 is an intimate, loving tribute to Captain Dan. Judi has opened her heart and the diary of her life with her beloved husband. Readers will relate to her emotions and cheer her independance. Can hardly wait for Book 3!

My wife recently got diagnosed with lung cancer. What then followed, among many other things, was a frantic, intense search for information and enlightenment. This book is by far the best, most comprehensive and enlightening book on the matter. You are far better prepared to face the challenges, choices and complexities of lung cancer treatment with this book by your side. Our deep gratitude to the author for producing this book.

This is the book that patients and families really need to allow them to deal with Lung Cancer. Clear, practical, concise, and informative; you'll find useable information about everything you ever wanted to know about this disease .

Meticulous medical information about symptoms, treatments, and what to expect are provided in clear language that patients can understand. Patient stories flow through the book to bring the human side of this disease. Coping strategies are here, and so is empowering information about insurance, decision making, and end of life issues.

As a cancer patient advocate, I strongly recommend this book for patients, caregivers, and professionals.

A great book for the layperson. It answers almost every question of the patient and his/her family. The information is clear, practical, informative and concise. You will be prepared to face the challenges, choices, insurance issues, treatment options and pain management questions that all come with lung cancer. Family support is vital and this book will give the family information that is needed to help the family be supportive of the patient.

My husband was diagnosed with lung cancer more than 4 years ago, and I honestly do not know how I made it for almost 4 years without this book. It answers almost every conceivable question a person might have about lung cancer, and is the most comprehensive book on lung cancer, written in laymen's terms and very easy to read and understand, that I have ever found. I highly recommend it to anyone who has been diagnosed, or has a loved one who has been diagnosed with lung cancer.

You read a lot of books, when you have a relative with lung cancer. This book gives you an overview of the most common options you have, without the depressing statistics about lung cancer. If you fight for your health, statistics aren't that important after all.
However, there are a lot of pages about coping with cancer 'socially', which may be important to some people, but that is information I was not really looking for. And the health system in de USA is a different from the system in Europe (dealing with doctors, insurance, that kind of things).
But it is by far the best introduction book about lung cancer I have been reading so far. I keep using it over and over again. So: recommended, also if you live in Europe.

As a 5 year+ Lung Cancer Survivor, I have read many books on this life threatening disease. This one is by far the best! It is accurate, enlightening, and very understandable to a layman. It is easy to read and I highly recommend it!

My mother was recently diagnosed with Stage IV Lung Cancer and this book has been by our sides the whole time. I was quite impressed with the book's clarity of details and "understandability". So often , information in books regarding illnesses of this magnitude can clutter and confuse the mind, this book set me straight. We were able to understand the physicians during various appointments and we were able to ask good questions. Knowledge allowed us a little bit of control in a very out of control situation, and I believe this book helped tremendously.

All about lung cancer for the layperson. This book is a must-read for current and former smokers. About 25% of adult Americans still smoke even after years of learning that it is a very deadly habit. This is because the nicotine in tabacco is highly addictive. Sadly over 80% of lung cancer is caused by smoking. The human body is just not designed to handle all of the dread toxins that smoking puts into the lungs and the rest of the body. This is one of the most deadly forms of human cancer. This book is a valuable resource explaining both the challenges and choices faced by a lung cancer sufferer and his/her family.

When my mom was diagnosed with Lung Cancer, I didn't know enough about it. I purchased several books on lung cancer but found this one easy to read, direct and to the point. This book helped me understand when the Oncologist talked about the stage of mom's cancer and the options available. Not only did this book give me a clearer overall picture of lung cancer, it is an awesome resourcetool and assisted me in the proper questions to ask the doctor. I recommend this book to anyone who has just been diagnosed or has family or a friend who has.

This book champions the use of lung scans, for those at high risk of developing lung cancer, BEFORE symptoms appear - scans that radically and dramatically increase the odds of surviving this dreaded disease. While fully aware of the chance for false positives and their consequences, Henschke provides compelling reasons for utilizing this technology anyway. The book also consists of a thorough review of such topics as lung health, lung cancer and its development, treatment and diagnostic options in addition to lung scans, recovery tips, and alternative methodologies. This is a terrific reference source for people such as former smokers who are doing what they can to avoid developing lung cancer and who also want to maximize their odds for BEATING lung cancer should they develop it anyway.

My mother has this and I found this book to have plenty of easy information to understand in the areas of;
signs/symptoms, what can cause or be aggravating factors in this disease, what types of treatments
are available and the side effects are and how helpful and harmful the side effects can be, also this book
mentions how vital good communication between the patient and his or her doctors must be.

About 82% of lung cancer is caused by smoking. This book helps the patient and family deal with the emotional issues of knowing that in most cases this deadly disease is caused by the deliberate act of smoking. It also helps one deal with the years and years of lies put forth by cigarette manufacturers denying the deadly nature of smoking. About 15% of all smokers will die of this disease.

Dr.Scott's book is comprehensive and offers not only fact-based research and methods of diagnosis, but it also covers the highly emotive issues surrounding the possible causes of lung cancer, including the subject of 'smokers guilt'.

This book is a must have for EVERY home, whether it is simply an addition to your home library or you have been diagnosed with the disease, or know someone who has it.

I am embarrassed and humbled by the fact that I am the first person on Amazon to review this remarkable book. Do yourself a favour, get interested in health-care and go and buy it.

I submitted a story, so of course I am happy with the book. However I still find the stories good and interesting

Real people telling real stories of their lung cancer experience. True stories of survival and hope. Very good read and very informative.

The personal stories included in "Voices of Lung Cancer" are poignant and true. These stories put a different face on lung cancer, and, amazingly, they're filled with hope and humor. Stories like Susan Long's "Rediscovering Daddy" and Barbara Terrell's "Now I Understand" give the disease a face and help others who are dealing with similar situations. The fact that Law & Order's S. Epatha Merkerson and Dr. Deborah Morosini, sister of Dana Reeve, have stories in the book only add to its interest. I highly recommend it. Shane Alexander.

Pass' book is excellent, well-written, and comprehensive. It is one of the first books patients and family members should go to, though they should be cautioned that the book is written for a medical audience. Skip the first two chapters on mollecular biology which are far too technical, and go to some of the other chapters written in a detailed but comprehensive fashion. This book will prove exceptionally useful, but tough reading for many, so keep a medical dictionary and encylopedia nearby.

This second edition is an excellent, readable resource that makes few assumptions about the reader's familiarity with lung cancer, molecular biology, or cancer genetics. Contains many entirely new chapters as well as carefully updated material from the first edition. Geared to oncologists and researchers, but nonetheless a good foundation resource for patients and families who wish to learn a great deal about lung cancer and its management.

It was only in acknowledging her mortality - in confronting it directly, and most intimately: in absorbing into her life, not only the certain knowledge that she would die, but the various uncertainties of the limbo time - that she was able to live fully, and achieve the most complete expression of her life, and of the depth and fastness of her bond with us, with all mortal beings.

For me this is because her book written on the edge of death is so charged with life, with the affirmation of all that is most holy and most central in life, and most to be treasured.

At some point in the progress of her illness, Deborah came to understand that her predicament was at once an opportunity: that this limbo time had never been described, exhaustively, before: that it was a territory still partly undiscovered, not yet fully known, or absorbed into human experience, hovering, beyond her ken, like an unknown continent; and that, now, she had the chance - even the good fortune - to venture into it with her eyes fully open, with all her receptors alert. Every moment was precious, not only because there were so few of them, but because they contained this experience which might be conveyed to others, who might pass through the same place.

It became her habitat: this in-between area where there were no certainties, no securities.

Throughout the book the reader can feel her adapting to her new territory. She was equipped to do so: she had the vision, the mind, the will and the heart, to keep herself open to whatever came; to see, clearly, without prejudice; to sustain her attention without remission, without falling under the spell of a dogma; and to convey all this, with moving eloquence, in part because she was so gifted a writer, and partly because she was motivated to do so.

She wanted to help others, and she wanted to see, and speak the truth, of her condition. She realized that, in this limbo time, it was in being true to herself that she could be of the most help to us.

Read this book as fast as possible to experience the brilliant highlights and the thoughtful shadows of the "limbo time" and then go back and read it again--essay by essay. Use each essay as a meditation on living. Deborah Cumming's essays are not your typical cancer book. People who are not dying of cancer do themselves a disservice by leaving this book on the shelf. We are all living and dying every day.

Deborah's observations about her experiences, when she felt well after treatment and before decline, can be applied to anyone. How often do we feel stuck in our lives? How often do we wonder what is important? How much should we pay attention to other people's opinions? Can we chart our own course? Do we want to?

There is humor in this book and wonderful juxtaposition. One of the first quotations is from a nautical chart: "the prudent mariner will not rely solely on any single aid to navigation..." Most healthy people in our modern, stress-filled time, do not take the time to exercise or relax, let alone take the time to contemplate the meaning in their lives. Deborah's words give us that opportunity: "Balance is awareness, confidence, and--yes--belief. Belief that balance matters and that it can be achieved."

I received this book as a gift. It opened my mind and my heart. It is an amazing book. I bought two more books and gave them to friends with the caveat that if the book touched their hearts, they should buy a book and give it to a person of their choosing. They loved the book as much as I did and I think you will too.

Anita's work is the only one I have seen in which a patient carefully researched and then integrated various complementary modalities with her conventioanl treatment. Then she went on to document their effect.

In my book, Anita is a remarkable woman I met at work nearly 11 years ago, both of us drawn together by being cancer survivors. We formed an immediate bond, sharing talk of treatment, side effects, family issues, and internal turmoil. I was devastated and afraid when Anita's cancer returned. We'd meet at lunch and dig into the depths of surviving through the rigors of chemotherapy and the falling hopes for a future. She began recording her experience with this second battle via email to family and friends. And so began Anita's marvelous book that kept all of us connected to her, filling her with our thoughts, our encouragement, our prayers. How remarkable it was to see her skin pallor disappear after the Chinese herbs worked their wonders in her body. Hope rose; we saw Anita begin to arise from near ashes to new strength and vigor, and all the while we were connected and joyous with her through her writings. How thrilled I am to have the privilege of knowing this remarkable woman who has navigated with intelligence and sensitivity her course through cancer's poisonous sea and finally reached the fine clear waters of health! And she certainly deserves gratitude from the many for having so meticulously traced in writing this voyage in order to share it with us all. Thank you, Anita
