- Reviewed in the United States on October 14, 2023As a doctor who sometimes sees cancer patients, I found this book exciting and invaluable. It contains a wealth of resources that enables patients to become active in their cancer care, but also for those who seek prevention. It has broadened my knowledge and awareness of the newer technology and tools in this realm of medicine.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 4, 2023Great guidebook for understanding the tests and treatment options available for patients. Practical information is delivered in an easy and accessible way along with a number of resources for nutrition, treatments, and suggestions in working with a doctor. A must have for all cancer patients when beginning their journey. Wish I could give this 10 stars!
- Reviewed in the United States on October 3, 2023Grateful to have this guide for so many additional new patient testing resources, none of which the traditional oncologist offered. I also read Dr Lawenda’s Empowered Against Cancer. The information in both of these books shines a light on how many additional things a cancer patient can do to actively contribute to her treatment and wellness.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 3, 2023This is the best all-in-one book for anyone who is fighting cancer and had to rebuild their body and mind again after treatment. This takes a deep dive into nutrition, stress, hormones, testing, how to build your support network and so much more. Each section has so many additional resources and also it does a job in educating on how the body works so you can be in control of your recovery. Highly recommend to the patient, loved ones or practitioner! Well written and laid out in a format that makes it easy for everyone to learn!
- Reviewed in the United States on October 4, 2023Dr. Lawenda’s passion for treating cancer shines through in every chapter of this highly informative book. He has a remarkable talent for distilling complex medical concepts into easy to grasp language. The book helps you navigate the overwhelming landscape of health and cancer care in the digital age. A true companion for anyone looking to take charge!
- Reviewed in the United States on October 4, 2023As a physician, I found tremendous value in reading this book. The information is organized into an intuitive and logical format. Dr. Lawenda includes many tools for self-evaluation, which can be used to take immediate steps towards improved health. I plan to recommend this book to my patients, both with and without a cancer diagnosis.

1.0 out of 5 stars Very basic information
"As a Nutritionist specializing in Cancer nutrition, I found this book to be extremely disappointing. The writing is subpar and it fails to provide any valuable or actionable information. Instead of offering meaningful content, it reads more like an advertisement for the author's services. The content lacks depth and does not meet the standards expected for such a critical and specialized field. I am returning this book as it does not offer the quality or insights needed for professionals in this area."
