Product Description
This gripping memoir tells the story of a survivor of a 32-year battle with basal cell skin cancer that required 4 major cancer removal surgeries, the amputation ofher nose, and 18 reconstructive surgeries to restore it. In her youth, like many young people of the 1920s and 1930s, Carolyn Shuck underwent X-ray treatments for acne-a medical procedure that almost certainly caused the cancer that would take away her face and almost her life. Through the years of struggling with recurring cancers and devastating treatments, Carolyn led her life as normally as possible, raising three children and volunteering countless hours for Planned Parenthood. This account of living with skin cancer will inspire skin cancer patients and should be read by doctors, nurses, and other caregiving professionals. ... Read more

A Doody's Core Title ESSENTIAL PURCHASE!

4 STAR DOODY'S REVIEW!
"This excellent comprehensive book covers all types of skin cancer, their clinical presentation, the genetic alterations leading to particular tumors, and treatment. The clinical color photographs for the most part are of fine quality. The histology is shown side by side with the clinical findings. Shaded summary boxes highlight the salient points for those who wish a quick read through the book....Everyone will enjoy the thorough coverage of the diagnosis and management of skin cancer in this book. I highly recommend it be purchased by any physician caring for patients with skin cancer. The abundant illustrations are of high quality."--Doody's Review Service

"This all-inclusive textbook contains the most comprehensive, up-to-date and detailed information on any topic related to skin cancer....It could serve as the main resource for any physician for years to come."--Perry Robins, MD, President, Skin Cancer Foundation (from the foreword)

The book concludes with in-depth sections on skin cancer prevention--covering critical topics such as skin cancer vaccines and chemoprevention of skin cancer--in addition to the medicolegal and economic issues related to skin cancer.

5-0 out of 5 stars Questions Answered
Dad was suffering from Melanoma Cancer and I bought this book for Mom, who doesn't have internet access. After doctor appointments, she'd find herself with more and more questions she should have asked. This book answered so many of them. It also prepared her for what to expect as the cancer progressed. I'm very thankful I purchased this book for Mom. She felt prepared for the possibilities of what was to come. It also, in some ways, helped her stay strong knowing that certain side effects would occur. Melanoma is such a painful cancer and more awareness is definitely needed. This book should be read by anyone with small children and by those spending a lot of time outside in the elements. Maybe hearing about the side effects of melanoma will get us all to wear sunscreen each and every day. Anyway, if you are caring for someone with Melanoma or have a family member or friend who has it, BUY THIS BOOK and read it cover to cover.

5-0 out of 5 stars Great Book; Great Doctor
This book is a must for any melanoma patient or their family.

As a one-year survivor of Stage II melanoma, this book was great in helping me deal with my diagnosis and what could have been ahead.

Dr. McClay also happens to be my personal oncologist and he's a fantastic and caring doctor.

5-0 out of 5 stars This book is a must!
If you've been diagnosed with melanoma, this book is a must! The day I was told I had cancer, I was so frightened and confused. The doctor asked me if I had any questions, and I couldn't think of anything! The word "cancer!" just kept going through my mind. After reading this book, I was able to clear my head and not only ask questions, but ask the "right" questions. The only thing it didn't cover is the fact that it is sometimes difficult to diagnose melanoma. Sometimes the results are not black or white...there are also grey areas. But all in all, this book was extremely informative. Highly recomended.

5-0 out of 5 stars Opened my eyes...
I am at high risk for skin cancer being pale skinned, light eyed, blonde and living in San Diego. I never knew it was better for me to use sunblock and stay out of the sun instead of trying to go for a base tan, especially in a tanner. Tans only have a suncreen of SPF 5, come to find out. And even people with naturally dark skin need to wear sunblock because they can get skin cancer too, often in parts that go unchecked due to the fact people think their darker skin isn't at risk! These are two of the many "myths" brought out in this guide. Everyone should read this book so they know the facts about these horrible diseases.

This book blew my mind. I have found out the difference between UVA and UVB (and UVC) rays, how to protect myself from the sun and how to check myself to make sure I don't have skin cancer.I am not a real sun lover, but I amazed at all the myths people have about how the sun is healthy and how it is ok to hang out in the sun...people worry more about terrorism and serial killers than the sun and more people will die from skin cancer than dying, let's say, in a plane...it confuses me how people can be so little informed.

This book was written well. It is easy to read and it is sectioned in a way that it is easy to get to the answer you need. I was only going to read the first half, since the rest is about what to do if you have skin cancer, but I read that too, because it was interesting and I would rather know and be prepared if it happens in my future than not know. Like I say, this should be given out at schools in the San Diego area since many of them make the kids eat outside, which is the worst thing for them. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars important to read if you have minor skin cancers
The author of The Eggplant Cancer Cure has literally saved my skin.I have had non-malignant skin cancers for many years, and the dermatologist took gouges out of me every year. I have the scars to prove it!When I found out about Curaderm and started using it, I stopped allowing my dermatologist to cut them out.I just go to her for a diagnosis twice a year, and then I take care of it myself with Dr. Cham's Curaderm.In a matter of a few weeks, the cancer will disappear and leave no scar behind.(It's especially important when the cancer is on your face.)Now, it's important to remember, I'm not talking about a malignant melanoma here.For everything else, there's Curaderm.I highly recommend the book and the cream.It's really worked for me.

The book starts out in simple lay terms but advances to more statistical info that lay persons might find difficult to interpret. However, there are lots of pictures showing the progress of using the Curaderm cream and its effects on BSC and SSC. With alittle over 100 pages, it is a quick and concise read.

4-0 out of 5 stars A very informative book
The author and developer of the eggplant-based treatment gives a thorough description of the history and basis of the treatment.After reading the book, doing other research into the topic, and actually purchasing and using the skin cream based on the discovery, I have decided that it actually works.The other research led to the knowledge that a pharmaceutical company has purchased the "rights" to the derived chemicals and is now in clinical trials in the U.S. for a treatment for mesothelioma.In my opinion the books describes a true break-through in cancer treatment.Whether or not it will be accepted by those with vested interests in the status-quo remains to be seen.Read "The secret history of the war on cancer" by Devra Davis ...

Product Description

With more and more patients suffering from field cancerisation, an alternative for repeated surgery for the diagnosis and treatment of non-melanoma skin cancer is becoming necessary. Although surgery remains the gold standard for treatment of non-melanoma or keratinocyte skin cancer, it also has its downside. Surgery leaves scars and nowadays the cosmetic outcome of therapy is becoming increasingly important. Since many cases can effectively be managed without surgery, the possibilities of non-surgical therapy are gaining popularity, particularly in low malignancy tumours. This reader-friendly clinical guide offers treatment options for the growing group of these patients. It describes the current state-of-the art for non-surgical treatment of this type of skin cancer, and gives factual knowledge to beginners and new inspirations to experts.

4-0 out of 5 stars Review by Loraine Marrett Ph.D., University of Toronto
"On balance, this is an excellent book which has no natural competitors as a comprehensive, relatively current overview of skin cancer and ultraviolet radiation.The material is generally well written, with complex concepts, for example in the domains of physics and genetics, clearly explained for the generalist rather than the expert.Some of the chapters represent outstanding summaries and interpretation of evidence that will warrant frequent consultation and will be useful to any scientist with a serious interest in preventing skin cancer."

5-0 out of 5 stars Review by John B. Lowe Dr. P.H., FAHPA, FAAHB
Review: Prevention of Skin Cancer, Edited by David Hill, J. Mark Elwood, and Dallas R. English

This book, part of the series Cancer Prevention - Cancer Control, is one of the most comprehensive texts on the prevention of skin cancer published to date.This volume investigates skin cancer prevention from the etiology and epidemiology of skin cancer prevention to the efficacy of interventions. In addition, the 16 chapters in the book provide information on other areas such as solar and ultraviolet radiation, stratospheric ozone depletion, the influence of genetics, solaria usage, patterns of sun exposures and an economic perspective of skin cancer prevention programs. Each chapter provides an excellent overview of current scientific knowledge in these areas and ends with a section entitled "Implications for Public Health" that helps to frame the discussion from a public health perspective.

The editors are well known in the field of cancer prevention.Professor David Hill's work as a behavioral scientist in cancer control and prevention is international. He has been a prolific researcher in skin cancer prevention and has been involved with Australia's Sun Smart program for many years. His co-editors Professors Elwood and English are distinguished epidemiologists, and experienced in the area of skin cancer prevention. The book, according to the editors, was initiated as an outcome of a workshop held in Melbourne, Australia.The editors brought together both Australian and international researchers, distinguished in the area of cancer control and prevention, to write the chapters.

The book appears to be geared toward a wide diverse range of multiple audiences.The publishers' state it is an essential reference/handbook for public health and health promotion practitioners and researchers, and add that it would be of interest to dermatologists, epidemiologists and anyone with an interest in skin cancer. However with reference to the first two audiences it must be noted that most chapter sections on "Implication for Public Health" are modest, and while they reinforce what is known they do not suggest new directions. However, this book may be a great resource for those individuals who participate peripherally in skin cancer prevention and might not be as aware of the state of the science in all its dimensions.To the individual who is thinking of getting into the area of skin cancer prevention, this book is a must to read.Each chapter summarizes and synthesizes an enormous amount of literature in a very readable fashion.

I would recommend this book as required reading for all those in the area of cancer control and prevention as it, in the year 2004, is the most relevant and up to date comprehensive review of all aspects of skin cancer prevention.
I hope that the area of skin cancer prevention continues to make strides in finding new science as is evidenced by the work presented in this book. If so, we can look forward to the 2nd edition of this book. ... Read more

Product Description
"By page three of the introduction to Everything Changes, I wanted not only to devour the rest of the book, but I wanted to call Kairol up, get to know her, and (if we weren't both already married) see if I could sleep with her. Then the book got really good. It is, without doubt, the most forthright, emotionally sophisticated, and plain-old valuable book of its kind I've seen. The book defines and exemplifies what the verb 'fight' really means: to arm, prepare, and engage in sustained effort to gain a desired end. If that's your mission, this is your instruction manual."
—Evan Handler, actor and author of Time On Fire and It's Only Temporary: The Good News and the Bad News of Being Alive (and a guy who got well from acute myeloid leukemia in 1985)

On a shoestring budget and with tape recorder in hand, Kairol Rosenthal emerged from treatment and hit the road in search of other twenty- and thirtysomething cancer survivors. From the Big Apple to the Bible Belt, she dusted the sugarcoating off of the young adult cancer experience, exposing the gritty and compelling stories of twenty-five complete strangers. The men and women in Everything Changes confess their most vulnerable moments, revealing cancer experiences they never told anyone else—everything from what they thought about at night before going to bed to what they wish they could tell their lovers but were too afraid to.

With irreverent flare and practical wisdom, Everything Changes includes stories, how-to resources, and expert advice on issues that are important for young adult cancer patients, including:

  • Dating and sex

  • Medical insurance and the healthcare system

  • Faith and spirituality

  • Employment and career

  • Fertility and adoption

  • Friends and family

Kairol begins with her own story.At age 27 she is single and working at a nothing job with minimal health insurance when she is diagnosed with stage 2 thyroid cancer that has metastasized to her lymph nodes.

Kairol quickly learns how few services are available to her and to the 70,000 young adults who are diagnosed with cancer in the U.S. each year.

As she writes: "With this many cancer patients sniffing anesthesia in operating rooms, absorbing beams of radiation, and sitting in chemo chairs across the country, I was astounded that I and so many others felt so alone.I discovered that other young adult cancer patients wanted to share with me in intimate conversation what they were not willing to reveal in support groups, what they would not tell their doctors or therapist, and what they had a difficult time saying to their friends and family."

So she travels throughout the U.S. to collect the stories that make up her book. Woven throughout these snapshots, we learn a little about Kairol and how it's possible to find a soul mate even when you've been diagnosed with a catastrophic illness.We hear conversations about fertility, sexuality, spirituality and about medical insurance and navigating the healthcare system. And we find tons of resources with phone numbers and websites.

If you're in your 20s or 30s and dealing with cancer, or if you know someone who is, get a copy of the beautifully written "Everything Changes." You'll be glad you did.

5-0 out of 5 stars A must read
As a 22 year old recently diagnosed with cancer, I have had a difficult time finding books that address the thoughts, concerns,and experiences of being young and having cancer. I have been reluctant to join a support group, yet have had a difficult time not having others to relate to. 'Everything Changes', for me, bridged that gap and served essentially as a support- with stories,fears, and experiences I could relate to, relayed in an authentic and pure way. The collaboration stories (Rosenthal'sand the patients she interviewed), and the resources provided at the end of each chapter have helped me a great deal and would be of great value to any young adult experiencing cancer.

'Everything changes' is quite universal in approach, as rather than sharing just one cancer patient's experience like most other books on this topic, Rosenthal includes quotations and excerpts from many cancer patients she has interviewed; i.e. individuals who differ in gender,race&ethnicity, type of cancer and stage, and socio-economic status. This is, in my mind, the greatest strength of this book, it is not limited in scope, nor is it overly optimistic. Instead, it is realistic yet hopeful. One does not feel as though they are being preached to while reading it, but instead, attending a support group of real people sharing their experiences.I would recommend this to cancer patients, their families, and friends. From my own experience I have learned that many friends my age have had very little exposure to cancer, Rosenthal's book paints a clear picture of what living with cancer is truly like--not the romanticized version portrayed on lifetime movies.

5-0 out of 5 stars Real, gritty, beautiful
As a nurse, and someone who is completing her doctoral dissertation on young adult oncology, I thought this would give me a good patient perspective on some of my endeavors and had minimal expectations. It was real, gritty, thoughtful, and beautifully written. One of the most accurate accounts I've ever read. It was emotionally cathartic and a must read for providers as well as patients.

5-0 out of 5 stars I saw Kairol Rosenthal at a book reading in Chicago . . .
. . . she came across just like she does in her book -- a little bit wry and sarcastic, always empathetic, very passionate, and unflinchingly honest.

The author sought out interviews of a very diverse group of young people with cancer, and was able to extract very wide range of very compelling experiences.The book is a great mix of the gritty and terrible experience of having cancer, as well as the the absurdities and banalities of life with cancer -- of life dealing with the health care system -- and life in general -- thrown in.

The author is also a strong advocate for expanding health care.She participated in a very interesting interview in September 2009 on "Fresh Air" with Terry Gross where she addressed some of her personal experiences trying to navigate the often-treacherous waters of the uninsured/underinsured in America.That interview is well worth the listen -- seek it out.

I highly recommend this book to anyone with an interest in compelling personal stories, even if you don't have cancer.It is even more interesting if you have cancer or if you know someone with cancer, especially a person who is under 40, and for anyone with an interest in the ongoing public health-care debate.

In the interest of full disclosure - I know Kairol, but I assure you I wouldn't post this review if I didn't believe everything I just wrote.

3-0 out of 5 stars Interesting read. Title is misleading
I myself am a cancer survivor, having battled lymphoma for several years. I came across this book late in my experience, a few years after I reached a long term remission. The book is filled with interviews of young adults who tell their private stories in their battles with cancer. I found their experiences to be interesting, and very close to my heart since I too, had experienced many of their struggles such as with work, dating and living with my parents.

There were a couple of thoughts that settled in my mind after I finished reading this. First off, this book is referenced as "the insider's guide to cancer in your 20s and 30s." It is clearly not a guide. A guide is a handbook, a tool to help you navigate the unexpected or unfamiliar. My question is how many newly diagnosed cancer patients in their 20s and 30s buy a book like this once they hear of their shocking diagnosis. I certainly didn't. The first thought was "what the ^%$$^*(&##" and not, "i guess I'll look up a book on how to navigate the waters of cancer in my 20s." There is so much more than that when you're diagnosed. Which brings me to my next point.

By the time a patient ends up reading this book, he or she have most likely gone thru so much to know what has worked for them and what hasn't. The book, although a good read from the interviews stand point, fails to deliver what new patients needs at a timely manner, not because of the book's fault but because patient's instincts especially young ones are not to resort to a book when they're immediately diagnosed. Sometimes the treatment happens so quickly after diagnosis that you don't have time to read anything. You're relying many times on the hospital and staff to help you thru. A guide remains relevant if the info is delivered to the patient at the right time. The info here is not delivered in the right medium. It is better suited for the web or a podcast. When I read it, I skipped through all the pages that were the "guide" part because I didn't find it relevant or helpful. There was nothing in there that I didn't know already 4-8 months into my cancer experience.

Secondly, I was hoping the author would be the one telling patients and families what to do and how to do it thru her personal experiences (it's her guide right?) yet she simply details a dry laundry list of names and contacts of other places to connect with if you need more help. So, I bought a guide to then connect and seek more guidance? Isn't this a bit like buying a restuarant guide to tell me which web sites or organizations to contact to figure out the best French or Chinese restaurant in town?I was hoping the author would use in a creative way how she dealt with the issues by contacting place A or place B, but be it part of the narrative, not some plain list. She writes well yet the guide part was a bit disconnected and not as interesting of a read. I could have received similar contacts and names by calling local cancer organizations, charities or my social worker at the hospital.

As far as this book helping to guide those in a supporting role like friends and family, it could serve them well to know what 20s and 30s with cancer go thru. I think most people don't have a clue what the author and the interviewees really went thru with cancer so it's great to have a book about it.

I liked the quotes sprinkled around the pages, and the stories around the interviews such as how the author set them up and got to meet the patients. I really hoped though for more thorough descriptions of the author's experiences. She went through a lot and I was hoping to hear more of her issues with work, dating, sex, treatments, etc. If this book is by a cancer patient, then the author immediately brings credibility, yet there wasn't all that much about her. It would have been cool if she chose one patient to interview her. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars Very Informative
I suggest that you keep an open mind about skin cancer and that there are much better methods of curing skin cancer, especially basal cell and squamous cell cancer and also keratosis.I had keratosis on the back of my thigh and also I have a history of skin cancer.After I read the book, I placed an order of the medication mentioned in the book and used it.Guess what?The stuff mentioned in the book REALLY works.I am tired of the butchery of the dermatologists.Of course, I still go to a dermatologist for checkups but I refuse to let him butcher me!!!!!!!!!!!
