Overview

Johns Hopkins Patients' Guide to Cervical Cancer is a concise, easy-to-follow “how to” guide that puts you on a path to wellness by explaining cervical cancer treatment from start to finish. It guides you through the overwhelming maze of treatment decisions, simplifies the complicated schedule that lies ahead, and explains in easily understandable language the often confusing task of putting together your plan of care. Empower yourself with accurate, understandable information that gives you the confidence to 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.
