First published in 1993 as "The Chemotherapy and Radiation Therapy Survival Guide", this comprehensive book is updated with additional coverage on biotherapy, immunotherapy, nutrition, stress reduction, chemotherapy drugs, and more; it does not address radiation therapy. Without specifying a particular chemotherapy or treatment regimen for a certain type of cancer, oncology nurses McKay and Schacher include overviews of chemotherapy, treatment plans, and common blood tests as well as information on how to cope with side effects, nutrition, fatigue, and physical changes. In addition to their own expertise, the authors utilize a qualified nutritionist and psychiatrist with in-depth experience in oncology-related support. This general resource may need to be supplemented with information regarding users' specific oncology treatment or chemotherapy regimens. This should be included in any comprehensive consumer health collection, even those owning the earlier editions; also for larger general library collections.Lori Gluckman, NY Harbor Healthcare Syst., Manhattan Campus Lib., Winterfeldt, VA
