The Johns Hopkins Patients’ Guide to Pancreatic Cancer is a concise, easy-to-follow “how to” guide that puts you on a path to wellness by explaining pancreatic cancer treatments from start to finish. It guides you through the overwhelming maze of treatment decisions, simplifies the complicated schedule that lies ahead, and provides valuable tools to help you to put together your plan of care. Empower yourself with accurate, understandable information that will give you the ability to confidently participate in the decision making about your care and treatment. About the Series: Learning that you or someone you love has cancer is devastating, and feeling lost and powerless is a common immediate response. The Johns Hopkins Patients’ Guides are designed to alleviate your anxiety, empower you with information, and enable you to fully understand your treatment options. Each book in this series is dedicated to a specific type of cancer. The information is there to help lighten your burden and to assist you in becoming an active participant in your care. Cancer rarely allows us to take a diversion from life, and offering guidance on how to continue to live life while working hard on getting well is part of the outcome we hope to help you achieve.

Got this for my wife when she was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. She uses this book as her first source for reference material. It is easily understood, accurate, truthful, and she tells me it has been a blessing to her. PLEASE get this book for anyone with pancreatic cancer. It contains answers to 99% of your questions, and eases the mind of both patient and caregiver. A VERY SPECIAL BOOK.

My mother was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2013. This book came in handy. It is a quick read and easy to understand. It prepared me for the battle and also enabled me to ask more questions when I met with my mother's medical team. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who is surviving pancreatic cancer or helping someone survive.
