There is a book similar to this already in print. I have a copy. It is called "We have walked in your shoes, a guide to living with oral, head and neck cancer". It is published by S.P.O.H.N.C. (Support for people with oral and head and neck cancer). It is a free publication that anyone can send for a copy. My copy was copywrited in 2006. You may want to look at it - to make sure you don't duplicate that book. Maybe make sure that you touch / go into detail on things it might have missed.

The table of contents seems to cover everything everyone has mentioned from symptoms and diagnosis, to after the diagnosis to treatment options to side effects, it includes personal calendars and records keeping pages, looking forward after the treatments, coping with fear of recurrence and diet and nutrition.

Just thought I'd let you know in case you weren't aware of this book existing.
