From the Publisher
Some 150,000 Americans are diagnosed with colon cancer each year. But, thankfully, with increased awareness and improved therapies, there’s also a growing population: the Colorectal Cancer Survivor. And as these survivors begin to live longer and stronger lives, a new set of post-treatment needs has arisen. THE COLON CANCER SURVIVORS’ GUIDE addresses these needs directly.

About the Author
Curtis Pesmen is author of How a Man Ages, What She Wants and Your First Year of Marriage, and has written for Esquire, GQ, SELF, Glamour, Redbook and Outside magazines. As health/features editor of SELF magazine, he helped develop the internationally recognized, pink-ribbon breast cancer awareness campaign. An award-winning, seven-part series of Pesmen’s (so far) successful fight against colon cancer was featured in Esquire magazine in 2001 and 2003. He lives in Boulder, Colorado, with his wife and three-year old son.

Customer Reviews

Great information for others with CC
The Colon Cancer Survivors' Guide, Second Edition: Living Stronger, Longer

Good to know what others have faced with colon cancer treatments before or after you've been diagnosed with this disease. Easy to read and follow. Keep in mind every situation is different and many new treatments are now available. Would recommend but please keep in mind while reading this may not be what you will be facing but it also is good to know what others have gone through.
