REVIEWS  
 
Quality Books "This book provides an invaluable resource for anyone who has or who is caring others with Mesothelioma or other Lung cancers. It provides a wealth of relevant and useful information on various types of lung cancers, medical trials, treatments and medications. This well researched and comprehensive book is quite unique on the subject. This book also contains a detailed discussion on the emotional burden of Lung Cancer upon the patient and their families and ways to manage it."
                    
 Lorraine Kember. Author of "Lean on Me - Cancer through a Carer's Eyes",
"The very mention of the word Cancer, strikes fear into all of us.... From personal experience I know that knowledge is the key to providing a better "quality of life" for the cancer patient. Better understanding of the stages of the disease and of methods and medications available to treat the pain and symptoms caused by it, allow for the patient and those who care for them, to make informed decisions regarding their care. In this way, they are able to regain some control over their lives. Rarely does one find all the information they need in one book, however I believe Howard's well researched and comprehensive book "Lung Cancer & Mesothelioma", is quite unique. It provides a wealth of relevant and useful information including; how various types of cancer are formed, medical trials, available treatments and medications, insight and discussion regarding the emotional burden of cancer upon the patient and their families and ways by which to manage grief. I believe this book will provide an invaluable resource for anyone who has or who is caring for someone with cancer.
