A compassionate guide to the cancer journey, from screening and prevention to diagnosis and recovery.

A cancer diagnosis can change our lives and the lives of our loved ones in an instant. It leaves us seeking answers to myriad questions and searching for hope.

In The Cancer Journey, Dr. Chadi Nabhan demystifies this complex disease and offers a compassionate guide to understanding your diagnosis and treatment options.

With decades of experience treating oncology patients, Dr. Nabhan answers your essential questions about cancer, including how it develops, how it is diagnosed, how it is treated, and how to prevent it from returning. He provides suggestions for how readers can prepare for their first visit to a cancer specialist, what questions to ask the health care team, and insider tips for getting second opinions and clinical trials. This comprehensive guide covers screening, survivorship, the art of communication, complementary and integrative medicines, and the future of cancer care. For those who may be at risk or are newly diagnosed, for family members and friends seeking guidance to help their loved ones, and for non-specialist providers seeking to educate their patients, The Cancer Journey is your one-stop-shop for all the information you need.

“Nabhan masterfully simplifies the science, controversies, and complexity of cancer for patients and their loved ones. Through storytelling, humility, and armed with 20 years of experience in oncology, he takes the reader through the cancer journey from A to Z, separating facts from myths. His ability to communicate is commendable, making this book a must-read for anyone interested in this topic.”—Siddhartha Mukherjee, MD, author of The Emperor of All Maladies, The Gene, and The Song of the Cell
