Description
More than 13 million cancer survivors in the United States face the fear of cancer recurrence every day, and this helpful resource offers guidance on the best ways to stay healthy after treatment ends. Although no one can predict whether cancer will recur in any one individual, certain behaviors reduce the risk of cancer recurrence for cancer survivors as a group. This book looks at the scientific evidence behind these behaviors; the various essays and articles included cover diet and nutrition, physical activity, spirituality, and everything in between.
