This book would have been a lifesaver for us 3 years ago. If I had a nickel for every time the Docs would say "Oh yeah I could have told you that".
The simplest things.... when your Hair starts to hurt , around 15 days into chemo, good indication its getting ready to fall out. Just shave it and save yourself some pain.
The trauma of port feedings..thinking I was going to kill him every time I saw a bubble in the line...after a week of that they tell me " don`t worry that little doohickey ( technical term ) takes the bubbles out"!
Maybe the Cancer Centers could be encouraged to buy the book to give to their patients...lets face it Cancer is big business.

Great Idea
