When Tumor is the Rumor and Cancer is the Answer By Kevin P. Ryan MD FACP GIVEAWAY!

"Superb! This thoroughly delightful book explores, explains, and puts in context our biggest fear- our own mortality! The very word "Cancer" evokes a primal fear that we are all mortal and will, at some point, die. My own experience, on a personal level with cancer, access ports, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and major surgery was very sobering! Dr Kevin Ryan has given us all a new perspective on how to live with and conquer our biggest fear! This book is a must read for anyone living with cancer, their families, and the entire treatment community. When Tumor is the Rumor, and Cancer is the Answer will help each of us to triumph over this experience, regardless of the outcome!"
-LT. Gen PK Carlton Jr. Surgeon General USAF (ret)

"A great cancer book should reduce anxiety with authority and comprehensive information helping those confronted marshal their internal resources and conquer their fears. Does such a book exist? You are about to read it"

I got this book and read it in one day. Most of you know I have lost my whole family to cancer and recently I have had surgery for it myself. This is a book I wish my family had to read and I had before I went for my surgeries. It is a book to help calm your fears and anxiety.

The book is chalk full of fantastic information.

If you are someone you know has cancer this is a must read.

After reading this book I wish that Doctor Ryan was my oncologist. He really has it together and knows his stuff.

It is very sad to say but this is a much needed book in this day and time. I only wish that one day there will be no need for such a book when someone finds a cure for cancer but right now this is a book that most families should be reading.

I highly recommend this book.

I gave this book 5 stars.

I was given a copy of this book by the author for my honest review.
