Being The Boss In Treating Your Cancer

Rhoda Baer for National Cancer Institute, ID 7496.

You don't get a choice in whether or not you get cancer. 

But you do get a choice--many choices, in fact--in how your cancer is treated.  This is the main message radiation oncologist David Palma delivers in his book.
