  • "Cancer patients often 'get lost' in the system once their acute phase of care and recovery is complete. Doctor Krychman has written a wonderful book for all of these patients and re-affirms the importance of prevention, health promotion, self-affirmation, and healing. He has written with compassion and empathy and I will recommend it to all of my patients as an aid to achieving quality of life after cancer."
