1: What Your Doctor May Not tell You about colorectal cancer
This book is more useful for someone interested in prevention than it is for someone that already has colorectal cancer. I bought this book looking for new treatments and hope and didn't find anything that my doctor hadn't already told me.

2: great resource for the lay person
This book was a great resourse to go back to when we had questions about my mother's cancer and her therapy. It did not get into telling personal stories and bring us down just gave us the nitty-gritty about the situation. I advise it to anyone who finds themself facing this battle, by the way mom is in her third year of remission!

3: Watch the dates on books!
The cancer field is growing so fast that books are having a hard time keeping up. This book gave me some standard information, but it is not up to date with procedures.

4: Thank You Dr Pochapin!!!!!
I cannot fully express my gratitude to Dr Pochapin for creating this sanity-preserving resource! In the course of my diagnosis, surgery, chemotherapy,and follow-up tests, I was at times lost. This book helped me to hang on, to understand, to feel prepared for all that was happening to me. Cancer is really scary when it has your name on it. Dr Pochapin has a way of relieving some of its "sting" with his way of talking to you like an old friend. I am a survivor for 20 months now and there are still things I refer to in this valuable book!Thank you again Dr Pochapin!!!!!

5: Colorectal Cancer by Pochapin
This book is a solid investment in methodologies to detect, treat
and prevent colon cancer. It describes classic tests for the
disease. i.e.
- colonoscopy with samples
- flexible sigmoidoscopy
-virtual colonoscopy
- Fecal DNA (FOBT)
- FIT immuno evaluation
- Pill endoscopy
The author describes strategies aimed at reducing the likelihood
of colorectal cancer; such as, curbing alcohol, NSAIDS,
sensible dieting (fruits and veggies), cessation of smoking and
exercise.
The work is a solid value for readers interested in learning
more about every aspect of colorectal cancer.
