More about Braving Chemo:
Getting cancer is like a bomb going off in your life.
Having chemotherapy can feel like another bomb.
When faced with chemotherapy, you have many questions—but searching for answers on the internet can be overwhelming and pamphlets from your oncologist don’t begin to tell you all you need to know.
In Braving Chemo, Harvard-educated physician and cancer survivor Beverly A. Zavaleta MD combines her medical expertise with a survivor’s insight to provide practical advice for both chemotherapy patients and cancer caregivers. This book will give you clear answers to your most urgent chemotherapy questions, such as:
How to keep your hair from falling out
What to eat, and how prevent nausea
How to face tough feelings such as fear of dying
Braving Chemo is a valuable resource about what to expect during chemo, how to minimize the side effects and how to live life as normally as possible when life itself is on the line.
Reviews:

“Beverly writes with calm compassion and the fact that it’s a medical book written by a medical person where that person is writing from their experience of cancer and chemotherapy means it covers everything you need/want to know.” — Sara L., Amazon
“If your diagnosis requires chemotherapy, then I highly recommend that you make BRAVING CHEMO your ‘go to book’ – your friend! Tuck it under your arm for comfort, information, and optimism… It is practical, honest, intelligent and thorough – it covers the predicaments and really ticks the emotional and educational boxes.” — Geoff A, NetGalley
