Reviews for When Your Life Is Touched by Cancer: Practical Advice and Insights for Patients, Professionals, and Those Who Care
"Riter's book of valuable, compassionate advice focuses on making the cancer journey as good as it can be. His thoughtful communication strategies for patients, families, friends, and professionals are practical; his insights from various perspectives, vital. I recommend it highly for patient education centers and for public, health, and hospital libraries."
