Easy To read
This I think is not a Diy book, but it is a book easy to read and a book that should be read by everyone before cancer. It is a book to help you navigate and ask your doctor questions. It also helps put things in perspective late stage doesn't have to mean the end. I had to read part 2 a few times just to keep up with the treatments, pathways and all that information but over all fairly easy to read specially with the internet to look things.

EXCELLENT RESOURCE
I was recently diagnosed with bladder cancer - in a span of 4 months I had two surgeries, and 6 weeks of treatment only to learn the cancer was already growing back. In my search for more holistic approaches to cancer treatment, I found this book. It is a great reference on understanding cancer, how it thrives and survives, and how you can work to keep it in check... or even better, kill it. I have read it multiple times, and have copious notes. I have a medical background and enjoyed the read, but I can see it being a bit overwhelming to someone that doesn't have that background. That being said, no matter what your background you will get SO MUCH out of this book. Please read and don't leave your fate to conventional medicine.

Phenomenal book - Wish I found it earlier!
This book is a must read for anyone battling cancer; in particular for anyone looking for an alternative route beyond the western standard of chemo and radiation. Jane McClelland writes a very detailed but also very readable book for the average non-medical person, explaining the many pathways cancer is prone to take if it runs into a road block such as chemo. Rather than just having a single approach to fighting the disease, she offers a multi-pronged metabolic approach in which one blocks other pathways before the cancer even heads down them explaining that most often, chemo will reach a point at which it will stop working. Hence the need to block other pathways before that happens. As a survivor of stage 4 cervical cancer herself, she has walked the walk and is now educating others on what she researched and learned and what she recommends. in her own words, her process in a nutshell is "starve it, stop it spreading, THEN snuff it out," which she writes in her intro. She offers a ten-step process to accomplishing this which she lays out in the book as well.HIGHLY recommend! Her book also contains many resources including a website rich with information, podcasts, courses, and websites to help you find a doctor in your area that follows her methodologies. Not sure? I'd say get the book and read what she has to say. Might not be for you, but I think it's an incredibly sensible approach that I intent to pursue. I've read a lot of books about cancer treatment; books on what to eat, what supplements to take, etc. I've read more articles than I can count about promising testing and approaches, etc. But this by far offers the most in terms of how I can help myself put forth my best effort toward fighting this disease with *specific* things I can do to help myself. It offers hope as well - and while it is no cure, it helps you make it another day and another and another in the hopes that one has an opportunity to see actual progress and perhaps even success.

Great read!
There is some great information and for the most part i can really relate because I've always been very much into nutrition. However, it does get too technical, particularly towards the end. I suggest highlighting key points and going bash to them later.

A glimmer of Hope for a cancer cure
At last there are ways to fight cancer and win! This book tells you how, balancing diet, exercise and the use of off patent drugs. Both autobiographical and technical, well researched and scientifically informative, Jane Mclelland covers the gamete from traditional treatment to the avant- guided.

great and understandable information!
Excellent information! Confirming that big pharma has control of the cure :( very sad state of affairs for the world and anyone with cancer. I’m hoping I can convince my doctor(s) to prescribe some of the off label drugs that may be helpful for my lung cancer.
