Before and After Cancer Treatment, second edition
Heal Faster, Better, Stronger
Dr. Silver fills this survivor-oriented book with exercise and diet recommendations as well as step-by-step instructions for fighting fatigue, monitoring mood, and overcoming setbacks. Readers are encouraged to set balanced goals, take time to heal, and consult both conventional and alternative medicine.
Most people will live for many years after their initial cancer diagnosis—often cured or in remission. Some will live with cancer as a chronic condition. The goal is always to live life to the fullest, which means feeling as strong as possible—physically and emotionally. Dr. Silver recommends daring to dream again and preparing for the future. Wherever they are in their own journey with cancer, readers will find here a personal, practical, and powerful guide to recovery.
About the Author
Reviews
"It just has everything in this book and the author is meticulous to detail. . . Although written for a US market this book is extremely valuable for the UK healthcare setting too. The book is well referenced at the end of each chapter."—Nursing Times
"Dr. Silver's book encompasses not just emotional and physical healing but spiritual as well. Her credentials as a young mother and cancer survivor, in addition to being a physiatrist with a specialization in rehab medicine, make her work both authoritative and compassionate."—Paula J. Anastasia, RN, MN, OCN, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Los Angeles, reviewing a previous edition
"A diagnosis of cancer changes one's life forever. After her diagnosis, Dr. Silver chose to continue healing—this time, healing herself. Her book is a gift to all cancer patients."—Irene Pollin, MSW, author of Taking Charge and Medical Crisis Counseling, reviewing a previous edition
"Dr. Silver, who has faced cancer as both doctor and patient, has written an excellent practical guide for patients navigating the psychological and physical demands of a diagnosis of cancer."—Raymond Lenhard, MD, past president, American Cancer Society, reviewing a previous edition
"Dr. Silver is a remarkably insightful patient and physician. She has built upon her own professional experiences in rehabilitative medicine and her personal experience with a breast cancer diagnosis and subsequent treatment. She seeks to make lemonade out of lemons, and she has done so with remarkable success."—Eric P. Winer, MD, director, Breast Oncology Center, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, reviewing a previous edition
"A hands-on guide to survival issues: exercise, diet, fatigue, mental health, spirituality, and how to seek assistance from both Western and alternative medicine... Highly recommended."—Library Journal, reviewing a previous edition
