Download or read book The Death of a Cancer Patient written by Kyle J Kostic. This book was released on 2018-05-31. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the first-person articulation of how a man with a terminal cancer diagnosis used the combination of mediation, psychology, and medical marijuana to transform himself into the best shape of his life after both chemotherapy and radiation treatments failed. After being told he did not have any treatment options left by his doctors, author Kyle Kostic intuitively and serendipitously created this method, which he is ultimately stating with great humility is the cure to not only Stage IV Squamous Cell Carcinoma and metastasized Lung Cancer (both of his diagnoses), but to all forms of cancer. This was not a school project, a work project, or even his life's work. His life literally depended on getting this right. He documented his story from beginning to end, and is continuously refining his work in real time on his blog as well as on his social media accounts. The intention of him writing this book is to provide this information to other cancer patients and their families, in an attempt to prevent them from experiencing both the emotional and physical pain that the modern cancer treatment protocol consists of.

Book Synopsis The Death of Cancer by : Vincent T. DeVita, Jr., M.D.

Download or read book The Death of Cancer written by Vincent T. DeVita, Jr., M.D.. This book was released on 2015-11-03. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cancer touches everybody’s life in one way or another. But most of us know very little about how the disease works, why we treat it the way we do, and the personalities whose dedication got us where we are today. For fifty years, Dr. Vincent T. DeVita Jr. has been one of those key players: he has held just about every major position in the field, and he developed the first successful chemotherapy treatment for Hodgkin’s lymphoma, a breakthrough the American Society of Clinical Oncologists has called the top research advance in half a century of chemotherapy. As one of oncology’s leading figures, DeVita knows what cancer looks like from the lab bench and the bedside. The Death of Cancer is his illuminating and deeply personal look at the science and the history of one of the world’s most formidable diseases. In DeVita’s hands, even the most complex medical concepts are comprehensible. Cowritten with DeVita’s daughter, the science writer Elizabeth DeVita-Raeburn, The Death of Cancer is also a personal tale about the false starts and major breakthroughs, the strong-willed oncologists who clashed with conservative administrators (and one another), and the courageous patients whose willingness to test cutting-edge research helped those oncologists find potential treatments. An emotionally compelling and informative read, The Death of Cancer is also a call to arms. DeVita believes that we’re well on our way to curing cancer but that there are things we need to change in order to get there. Mortality rates are declining, but America’s cancer patients are still being shortchanged—by timid doctors, by misguided national agendas, by compromised bureaucracies, and by a lack of access to information about the strengths and weaknesses of the nation’s cancer centers. With historical depth and authenticity, DeVita reveals the true story of the fight against cancer. The Death of Cancer is an ambitious, vital book about a life-and-death subject that touches us all.

Download or read book Facing Cancer and the Fear of Death written by Norman Straker. This book was released on 2013. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Facing Cancer and the Fear of Death: A Psychoanalytic Perspective on Treatment, Dr. Norman Straker proposes that "death anxiety" is responsible for the American society's failure to address costly futile care at the end of life; more specifically, doctors default on the appropriate prescription of palliative care because of this anxiety. This leads to unnecessary suffering for terminally-ill patients and their families and significant distress for physicians. To address these challenges in the culture of medical education, increased psychological support for physicians who treat dying patients is necessary. Additionally, physicians need to reach a consensus regarding the discontinuation of active treatments. Psychoanalysts have traditionally denied the importance of death anxiety and report relatively few treatment cases of dying patients in their literature. This book offers multiple treatment reports by psychoanalysts that illustrate the effectiveness and value of a flexible approach to patients facing death. The psychoanalytic reader is expected to gain a greater level of comfort with facing death and is encouraged to consider making themselves more available to the ever-increasing population of cancer survivors. Further, psychoanalysts are encouraged to be more useful partners to the oncologists that are burdened by the irrational feelings of all parties.
