Amy Givler
When I was diagnosed with cancer, I was caught up in a swirl of emotions. Being a doctor didn’t shield me from that chaos. But after I went through treatment, I wanted to help those who are newly diagnosed. This book is the result. It has solid medical information and offers hope in the face of cancer.
