'You have cancer' - three small words that have the power to change your life. They could render you, the patient, feeling like you no longer have control over your own body and circumstance. But you can regain charge of your life: through understanding the illness and how it will affect you. So It's Cancer: Now What? is your guide to that next step: what to do when you are diagnosed with cancer. With her trademark wisdom and warmth, medical oncologist and award-winning author Ranjana Srivastava demystifies the labyrinthine world of the illness. What is cancer and how is it treated? Why can't I have an operation? What should I eat and how do I manage pain? She equips you with the knowledge to make informed decisions on the daunting issues, such as finding the right oncologist, and to ask the bigger questions, such as how to break it to the kids.

So-called alternative medicine (SCAM) is popular and therefore important, no matter whether we love or loathe it. Consequently, an impressive number of books about SCAM are already available. Most of them, however, are woefully uncritical, overtly promotional and dangerously misleading. Not so this one! This book was written by someone who received SCAM as a patient, practised SCAM as a doctor, and researched SCAM as a scientist. It provides an insider's perspective by covering aspects of SCAM which most other books avoid, and by questioning the many tacitly accepted assumptions and wild extrapolations that underpin SCAM. The text is factual, occasionally dosed with a touch of humour or satire. The aim is not only to inform but also to entertain. It is written principally for members of the general public who have an interest in healthcare and are tired of the promotional counter-knowledge produced by SCAM enthusiasts. It is an exercise in critical thinking that might prevent you from wasting your money on (or endangering your health with) bogus treatments.

Whether it's cancer of the liver, kidney, neck, eye, brain, bladder, skin or some other area, you'll get tips on detecting cancer early and clear explanations of what to expect once you're diagnosed. The book includes sections on cancer during pregnancy, cancer and sexuality, psychological problems among cancer patients, pain management, and new developments in cancer treatments. Hundreds of vocabulary words related to cancer and explanations of the roles that different types of medical and health professionals may play in diagnosis and treatment make this an important resource not just for patients but for anyone supporting a loved one with the disease.

This is a remarkable book. It is the story of just one person but it is repeated time and time again by many, all over the world. She has a complex but potentially curable cancer from the outset - one that requires a surgical intervention, radiotherapy and chemotherapy to treat optimally. So Mitzi experiences everything. With a young and very active family to look after, she has a lot to live for so how she deals with uncertainty is fascinating. The disruption to her life by the cancer and its treatment is massive and to add to it all she is going through a marital breakdown at the same time.I feel it's an incredible privilege to be allowed to follow her journey so closely. 'This is essential reading for all who deal with cancer patients - health professionals, politicians, health service developers, carers and, of course, patients themselves. It clearly gives us a distillation of what cancer patients want. We need to create a new network of modern cancer centres where the latest technology in radiotherapy and chemotherapy is seamlessly delivered in a comfortable, welcoming environment. Novel information technology can be used to link the centres so every patient will be monitored to get the best possible treatment.'

Dedicated to every brave warrior who has ever fought cancer. Th ose who survived, those who are still fighting, and those who lost the battle. There we sat at the poolside café in the gated community in Florida, where my parents have lived for the past twenty-some-odd years. I had received the heart-wrenching diagnosis less than a week earlier and had just recently broken the news to my two young children. So there we sat, just the four of us, at a table, eating our lunch, just as we had done so many times before during our annual December holiday visit. I had ordered a salad; my twelve-year-old son, Nick, was munching on a hot dog; and my husband, Jim, was eating a cheeseburger. My petite nine-year-old daughter, Whitney, was chomping away on a rack of BBQ ribs. (Th is is the same child who decided on the codfi sh when we took her to the International House of Pancakes. Th e second time we took her there, she went with the pot roast.) Nick had a million questions about the cancer. "How do they know it didn't spread?" "How did you get it?" "Is it contagious?" and so on. Whitney just sat there, her big eyes welling up with tears from time to time, looking at me longingly, as if she wanted to jump in my pocket and stay in it forever. So we all sat there, trying to eat, Jim and I attempting to answer the questions as best we could to ease their worries. During the course of the meal, Jim, who always gets such a charge out of Whitney's dietary intake, made many references to the "rack" that she was consuming. "How's the rack?" "Is the rack good?" "Th e rack looks delicious!" "Can I try some of the rack?" Finally, I could take it no longer. I turned to my saint of a husband and said, "Under the circumstances, sweetie, do you think you could STOP saying the word rack so much?" My husband, who is ALWAYS my best audience, started laughing. Nick, who is ALWAYS asking questions, wanted to know why that was funny. Jim went on to explain to him that the word rack is sometimes used as a slang term for a set of woman's breasts. Whitney, with bone in hand and a face full of BBQ sauce, turned to us and said, "Oh, so Mommy has rack cancer?" There you have it. From that day forward, in my little corner of the world, my medical condition became known as rack cancer. It was much less frightening that way.

Like most people, when you have an ache or pain that just will not go away, eventually you simply go to a doctor. You then follow the prescribe treatment and you hope of a quick cure to the problem. You hear stories about other people who end up having major medical problems that come to light from a simple doctor's visit but you never think that your story would become one of those stories. Actually, by the time I got to my last round of doctors, I suspected that I might have a larger problem than I cared to admit. On top of that, I had no medical insurance. I hoped against all hope that I was only being emotionally dramatic, that the doctor had some miracle pill that would allay my concerns and I would find I lost a few nights sleep over nothing. Unfortunately, the suspected problem turned out to be a tumor, most likely cancer, but a biopsy would be needed to confirm or deny the suspicions. I went in as an outpatient just to have a biopsy and I awoke from the procedure in a hospital Intensive Care Unit', with a new tracheotomy, assisted breathing and a diagnosis of an advanced cancer. I was terrified, I did not know what the outcome would be, and dying seemed to be a very real possibility. This is where blogging became important to my state of mind and my ability to stay in touch with those who where concerned about me. By blogging about my experiences, I had an outlet to express my fears, my anger and my hope. Through blogging, I was able to maintain an upbeat spirit that I am convinced helped save my life. The point of this book is less about my experiences so much as it is about the insights one gains when you're gravely ill and how sharing those insights might help other patients, family members and friends who have serious health challenges of their own.

This book is open access under a CC-BY licence. Cancer is perhaps the modern world's most feared disease. Yet, we know relatively little about this malady's history before the nineteenth century. This book provides the first in-depth examination of perceptions of cancerous disease in early modern England. Looking to drama, poetry and polemic as well as medical texts and personal accounts, it contends that early modern people possessed an understanding of cancer which remains recognizable to us today. Many of the ways in which medical practitioners and lay people imagined cancer – as a 'woman's disease' or a 'beast' inside the body – remain strikingly familiar, and they helped to make this disease a byword for treachery and cruelty in discussions of religion, culture and politics. Equally, cancer treatments were among the era's most radical medical and surgical procedures. From buttered frog ointments to agonizing and dangerous surgeries, they raised abiding questions about the nature of disease and the proper role of the medical practitioner.
