    About this ebook

    Over the years, India has seen a burgeoning number of cancer cases, so much so that it has morphed into an urban lifestyle disease. However, it remains a disease only partially understood, with families and patients often scrambling to find the right sources of information in the country.

    In this accessible guide, a senior pharmocologist and a bestselling author attempt to correct common misconceptions about the disease and deconstruct cancer within the Indian context. The book lists out the most harmful carcinogens that affect us and how they take a toll on our bodies while also containing a list of treatment options with their pros and cons. It also deals with the softer psychological aspects of managing the disease – for instance, the toll chemotherapy takes on families and how caregivers can manage their patients' as well as their own mental health during this tough time.
    Empathetic and easy-to-use, Life after Cancer is the handbook that will help patients and their caregivers live their best possible life despite uncertainties.
