Description - The New Cancer Survivors by Natalie Davis Spingarn
Surviving with cancer, the author posits, means seeing yourself differently and recognizing that others may see you differently. It means worrying more about work and money. It means facing your mortality and dealing with the medical system by learning how to be a good consumer of health services - including making choices among different doctors, medical centres and insurance plans. Diagnosed with cancer in the early 1970s, Natalie Davis Spingarn uses her own experiences as the basis for describing and critiquing what experts say about the emotional, physical, family and practical issues involved. She offers to help others deal with such issues by relating her own experience, good and bad, and providing practical encouragement to readers in similar situations.
