A compassionate guide to the cancer journey, from screening and prevention to diagnosis and recovery.

A cancer diagnosis can change our lives and the lives of our loved ones in an instant. It leaves us seeking answers to myriad questions and searching for hope. In The Cancer Journey, Dr. Chadi Nabhan demystifies this complex disease and offers a compassionate guide to understanding your diagnosis and treatment options.

With decades of experience treating oncology patients, Dr. Nabhan answers your essential questions about cancer, including how it develops, how it is diagnosed, how it is treated, and how to prevent it from returning. He provides suggestions for how readers can prepare for their first visit to a cancer specialist, what questions to ask the health care team, and insider tips for getting second opinions and clinical trials. This comprehensive guide covers screening, survivorship, the art of communication, complementary and integrative medicines, and the future of cancer care.

Reviews

Nabhan masterfully simplifies the science, controversies, and complexity of cancer for patients and their loved ones. Through storytelling, humility, and armed with 20-year experience in oncology, he takes the reader through the cancer journey from A to Z, separating facts from myths. His ability to communicate is commendable, making this book a must read for anyone interested in this topic.

Compelling and educational. Dr. Nabhan's work is a thoughtful 'how-to' guide that should be required reading for all interested in cancer. His approach is humble and honest, poignantly highlighting the potential exponential impact to people's lives by prioritizing the patient & care partner voice. A must-read to the end—my favorite chapters are the last three.

Nabhan, a gifted clinician researcher, shares his in-depth knowledge in the field and his genuine talent in communicating to benefit cancer patients and their families. Each chapter is a gem written with clarity and a heartfelt humanity. This book will become the gold standard reference for all challenged with cancer.

Many people try not to think too much about cancer unless they are forced to confront it. When they do, they are often overwhelmed with information and the weight of the decisions they must make. Chadi Nabhan has written an excellent guide with authority and tenderness. It can really help a lot of people.
