The Johns Hopkins Patients Guide to Uterine Cancer
Book (italiano):
This guide uses plain language and a conversational tone to help patients understand cancer treatments, make treatment decisions, and prepare for changes in lifestyle during and after treatment. The book begins by introducing the treatment team and their roles, then offers straight talk on side effects of treatment. There is also advice on talking about the diagnosis with friends, coworkers, and family, including children and elderly parents. The book offers tips on choosing a support group, sex and marriage/dating, and coping with memory and concentration changes. It also deals with the difficult issues of reoccurrence and incurable cancer. The book includes a glossary, and an annotated list of organizations, with phone and electronic contacts.
