Living with Cancer Ernest H. Rosenbaum, MD, Malin Dollinger, MD, Isadora Rosenbaum, MA, and Lenore Dollinger, RN, PhD Adapted for the Canadian edition by Mary Vachon, RN, PhD Cancer used to be thought of as a virtual death sentence.

It means learning how to manage symptoms and treat- ments while returning to as many of the normal activities of daily living as possible.
