Cancer-Increasing Your Odds for Survival : A Resource Guide for Integrating Mainstream, Alternative and Complementary Therapies Book

When a doctor says that a person has a "70 percent chance of survival" from cancer, what they mean is that the person has a 70 percent chance of living for five years. But how can a person increase their chances? What can they do to live longer than five years? What if they're not in that percentile to begin with? This book is filled with vital information for cancer patients to help them choose a treatment path that can significantly enhance their odds of surviving.

Written in a candid, straightforward manner, Cancer -- Increasing Your Odds for Survival details the steps to take after a diagnosis of cancer, with thorough discussions of all possible treatment options and their pros, cons, and success rates. The author believes that each person diagnosed with cancer owes it to themselves to carefully consider what traditional medicine offers, then to look beyond at the other healing techniques and support methods that are available -- and that have worked for other people.

The book is the companion to the public television series of the same name hosted by Walter Cronkite.

"...written by the producer of the public television documentary series, presenting a comprehensive, open-ended text covering the author's seven years of cancer therapy research."
