    About 82% of lung cancer is caused by smoking. This book helps the patient and family deal with the emotional issues of knowing that in most cases this deadly disease is caused by the deliberate act of smoking. It also helps one deal with the years and years of lies put forth by cigarette manufacturers denying the deadly nature of smoking. About 15% of all smokers will die of this disease.

    My mother has this and I found this book to have plenty of easy information to understand in the areas of;

    signs/symptoms, what can cause or be aggravating factors in this disease, what types of treatments

    are available and the side effects are and how helpful and harmful the side effects can be, also this book

    mentions how vital good communication between the patient and his or her doctors must be.

    Dr.Scott’s book is comprehensive and offers not only fact-based research and methods of diagnosis, but it also covers the highly emotive issues surrounding the possible causes of lung cancer, including the subject of ‘smokers guilt’.

    This book is a must have for EVERY home, whether it is simply an addition to your home library or you have been diagnosed with the disease, or know someone who has it.

    I am embarrassed and humbled by the fact that I am the first person on Amazon to review this remarkable book. Do yourself a favour, get interested in health-care and go and buy it.
