Review: best cancer-related book - the first edition of this book was terrific. the new version, which adds information from a recent survey that lori hope conducted, is even better. i work with cancer patients and this is my go-to book. i order a half dozen copies at a time and hand them out to everyone. it does a better job of identifying and working through emotional issues related to cancer than any other book in the field. one thing i particularly like about the book is the way it is organized. the "20 things" that people should know about the cancer patient are in separate chapters. so, if you are the patient and you want to read through the book, you can pick it up and read about one topic at a time (which is as much as one can read while going through treatment). also, while the book is directed toward friends/family/caregivers -- as in the cancer patient saying to others "these are the 20 things i want you to know" -- it is just as useful a tool for the patient as is is for the circle of loved ones. if you are a cancer patient and something is really rubbing the wrong way -- and it will -- you can flip through this book, find the topic, and lori will help you articulate the words behind that feeling that you're having. it kind of helps the cancer patient to develop his/her voice. lori also writes a blog which is widely followed, and is a highly-regarded and much loved figure in the cancer community. wonderful book from an extraordinary woman.
Review: Excellent book for anyone in the need of support with a cancer diagnosis - This book is an easy read, but what I like most is it helps direct communication with the cancer patient and is also informative based on real patient responses gathered through research. Helps with what to and what NOT to say to cancer patients. I gave it to my daughter during her i ritual phase of treatment after reading it myself. It was validating for her to read. Definitely recommend.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Opened My Eyes
*by N***N on March 10, 2014*

With cancer so wide-spread in our society it's helpful having a guidebook for what NOT to say to someone with the disease. According to this book, many of the commonly-offered sentiments people without cancer say to convey their caring & concern aren't necessarily helpful. This book offers a view from the patient side, & explains how to avoid misunderstandings & negative feelings.
