I wish this book had more information on the complementary therapies of Ayurveda diet for cancer, homeopathy for cancer, etc. This is helpful if someone needs a foundation regarding a healthy lifestyle and also if someone chooses radiation/chemo which herbs can be supportive. The testicular cancer chapter is outdated as radiation is not the first treatment of choice any longer, but chemo.

Very helpful in defining the disease and ideas for prevention and fighting it. Dry in places, but very readable & informative.
