Abstract
"What's the difference between targeted therapy and immunotherapy? If you're a melanoma patient, you should know. Unfortunately, most melanoma literature focuses on prevention. Patients receive a terrifying, life-threatening diagnosis and subsequently find a scarcity of information on treatment options. Melanoma: Not Just Skin Cancer is the book to fill that void. Written by a melanoma survivor with extensive knowledge of breakthrough technologies, scientific research, clinical trials, and patient empowerment, it's a comprehensive guide to navigating melanoma treatment. Real-life success stories will inspire patients to fight for their own health and remind them that they are not alone. Catherine M. Poole survived a melanoma diagnosis twenty-five years ago. Yale University Press published her first book on this topic, Melanoma Prevention, Detection, and Treatment, in 1998 and a revised edition in 2005. Today, she's a noted expert on melanoma treatment and an advocate for research and patient empowerment"--Back cover

Abstract
As a health-care journalist, Kate Pickert knew the emotional highs and lows of medical treatment well -- but always from a distance, through the stories of her subjects. That is, until she was unexpectedly diagnosed with an aggressive type of breast cancer at the age of 35. As she underwent more than a year of treatment, Pickert realized that the popular understanding of breast care in America bears little resemblance to the experiences of today''s patients and the rapidly changing science designed to save their lives. After using her journalistic skills to navigate her own care, Pickert embarked on a quest to understand the cultural, scientific and historical forces shaping the lives of breast-cancer patients in the modern age. - Provided by publisher.

She takes a once-in-a-lifetime chance and joins a clinical trial for immunotherapy, a revolutionary drug regimen that trains the body to vanquish malignant cells. Astonishingly, her cancer disappears entirely in just a few weeks. But at the same time, her best friend embarks on a cancer journey of her own--with very different results" -- Provided by publisher

Abstract
Kate Bowler believed that life was a series of unlimited choices, only to find that she was stuck in a cancerous body at age 35 ... With dry wit and unflinching honesty, she grapples with her cancer diagnosis, her ambition, and her faith and searches for some kind of peace with her limitations in a culture that says that anything is possible.In facing down cancer, Kate, -- a Christian Joan Didion -- (Glennon Doyle), searches for hope without cheap optimism, and truth with room for mystery. We are as fragile as the day we were born, and we will need each other if we're going to tell the truth: Life is beautiful and terrible, full of hope and despair and everything in between, but there's no cure for being human. -- Author's website
