by Bernadine Healy, M.D.
As the former director of the National Institutes of Health and herself a cancer survivor, Dr. Bernadine Healy has been a firsthand witness to the medical advances that have brought us to a turning point in the war on cancer. In this warm, brave, and deeply useful new book, she describes the quiet revolution that is curing a growing number of cancers and transforming how we face and fight many others.
“Every family in America is affected by cancer, so every family should read this book. It’s a primer by a first-rate physician on the disease itself and on its treatment, bith physical and psychological. And it’s a personal story by a feeling wife, mother, daughter, and friend about her own journey with the terrifying diagnosis of cancer- now often a treatable and beatable disease.” – Cokie Roberts, news analyst for ABC and NPR; cancer survivor Was $12.00 Now $3.00
