Paperback. Zustand: New. This is the book that anyone who has taken care of a loved one with cancer wished they had from the beginning. Its purpose is to provide a comprehensive manual for families who want to be sure they are aware of the kinds of options available to relieve pain and suffering that may result from cancer treatments, side effects of medications, and effects of the disease itself. It begins with a review on why cancer pain is still an everyday tragedy when modern medical techniques can relieve it in almost every case. It then goes on to give the consumer numerous tips on working most efficiently with doctors. The book goes step-by-step through medications commonly used to relieve cancer pain, from the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs to the opioids (narcotic pain-relievers), and then explains how other medications are also used to enhance the pain-relieving effects of standard painkillers or to relieve side effects. A chapter here also explains "high-tech" neurosurgical options for pain that has not responded well to simpler techniques. The next section first focuses on ways to relieve the common complaints of constipation and nausea and other side effects and discomforts commonly associated with cancer and cancer treatments. The book then explains how psychological and cognitive approaches can help relieve pain and suffering associated with cancer, including numerous techniques that families may employ. A section here deals with depression and other psychological components that contribute to suffering. The book concludes with a detailed chapter on how to cope with the myriad of problems that may occur with the advanced stages of cancer. The book has a detailed appendix of resources on where to get information relating to cancer, referrals to paid specialists, group support, hospice, and home care. It also includes detailed tables on medications mentioned in the book, a glossary, bibliography, and index.…

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. On March 2, 1994, the Agency for Health Care Policy and Research (a division of the Public Health Service) made headlines by releasing new cancer pain management guidelines. That report revealed that pain is frequently undertreated, and that relief is not only possible for most patients, but actually aids in recovery. For many cancer victims, the agency's guidelines offered new hope; for Dr. Richard B. Patt and coauthor Susan S. Lang, it was a resounding vindicationof the findings they set forth in You Don't Have to Suffer.Written by one of the country's leading cancer pain experts and science writer Lang, You Don't Have to Suffer provides aninvaluable, no-nonsense handbook for anyone with cancer, for anyone caring for a loved one with cancer, and for the doctors and nurses who treat these patients. The authors first illuminate the reasons why patients are so often undermedicated, including unfounded fears of addiction, patients thinking they need to tough it out, time-consuming paperwork for doctors who prescribe narcotics, and laws that fail to distinguish between drug abuse and the legitimate employment of narcotics. In acareful argument now taken up by the AHCPR's guidelines, Lang and Patt demonstrate that properly medicated patients are better able to resume active lives and marshall strength to fight their disease--whilethose in chronic pain not only suffer, but also may jeopardize their potential for recovery.You Don't Have to Suffer explores all the pain-relieving options available in the modern medical arsenal--from drugs and high-tech medical procedures to psychological and cognitive techniques and home nursing tips to make a patient more comfortable. Detailed chapters discuss the medications that can fight cancer pain or relieve the undesirable side effects of chemotherapy,radiation, surgery, and other cancer treatments; anaesthetic and neurosurgical options for pain that has not responded well to simpler techniques; ways to prevent or relieve constipation, nausea, drowsiness, and othercomplaints of cancer patients; and mind/body techniques and other ways of coping with depression and various psychological symptoms that contribute to the relief of suffering.Pulling together a wealth of long-needed information on the latest medical advances, You Don't Have To Suffer is a volume for the growing numbers of patients, family members, and health-care professionals who are determined to relieve needless cancer pain. Starting with a review on why cancer pain is still an everyday tragedy when modern medical techniques can relieve it in almost every case, it teaches carers what they need to know about cancer pain and its treatments.
