9781662914867: Hope for Cancer Patients at All Stages of illness

Synopsis

Throughout his decades as a practicing oncologist, Dr. Radha Vemuri treated patients with all types of cancer at all stages of illness. He learned that every patient needs more than just state of the art medicine whether at the beginning or final stages of cancer and at every point in between. All patients need hope!

From hope comes the fortitude to fight for life and the peace to face whatever the future brings, whether it be balancing treatment with other activities or end-of-life concerns.

Cancer patients often find themselves overwhelmed and this book shows how hope can be maintained throughout cancer treatment from diagnosis through whatever the end result may be.

After receiving his own advanced cancer diagnosis, Radha personally tested the effectiveness of his longstanding philosophy and is now able to express the necessity of hope from both a patient’s and physician’s points of view.
