* Advice from cancer patients, from coping with the emotional roller coaster to making recipes more appealing
* Recipes tagged to show which are helpful for the most common side effects of cancer treatment, plus special diet menus to help with them
* 'Q and A' between Dr. Ghosh and cancer patients about how to handle the effects of cancer treatment

* Cancer resource guide, nutrition and medical glossary
'This book will be of great assistance to patients and families undergoing cancer treatment.

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Cookbook
This cookbook is very good for people and families that are going through cancer. It has very good information in what to expect and how to prepare food.



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Disappointing!
This book was very disappointing for me. Some of the information contradicted itself regarding nutropenia, which made me suspicious of the content of other topics. I have only tried one of the recipes and didn't care for the taste.



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Just a Cookbook with a unique spin
This is a useful cookbook for reference, but it is not something that I feel is absolutely necessary in my cooking library. As a regular cook and a breast cancer patient, I found the recipes to be basic modifications of ordinary recipes.

If you are struggling with a specific side effect of cancer, then this book does offer helpful organization of foods/recipes for that purpose. It is useful in that way. On the other hand, I think most cancer patients find a core group of foods that they tolerate well, and stick with them through treatment. Also, talking with other patients and reading internet articles has been more useful to me than this cookbook. Sorry -- but I really think this is just another way to market something to cancer patients. We're vulnerable once we're diagnosed, so watch out.





Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Are you LIVING with cancer?
I gave this book to my grandmother. It has tips on dealing with nasea, how to prepare food so it doesn't taste metalic, etc... Lots of real and useful information for getting proper nutrition. My grandmother wasn't in the right frame of mind to accept the information. Good food will greatly contribute to our health and well being, I'm sad she could not allow herself this. It is a great book without being to new agey- after all it's by America's kitchen sweetheart, Betty Crocker. How more traditional can you get? Best of health to you and yours.
