Product Description
The 2002 edition of this very popular book has a beautiful new cover and both new and revised up-to-date information for all people diagnosed with cancer. The author is a Registered Dietitian who is also a 3-time cancer survivor (a childhood cancer, neuroblastoma, and breast cancer in 1984 and then1995). In her book, she shares both information and inspiration from her personal cancer recovery journey after her most recent diagnosis in 1995, in which she combined conventional cancer therapy with nutritional changes and many complementary medicine therapies.

Start here ( lhathorn2 )
This book is wonderful. If you have received that dreaded diagnosis, your doctor is not going to give you as much advice as Diana Dyer does. This book tells you how to improve your diet to maximize your chance of surviving. If you are still healthy, try to stay that way by following her guidelines. I was struck by how far ahead of her time Diana Dyer was. She was making changes (some controversial) way before the research showed she was doing the right thing.

"Excellent " Book on Nutrition & Cancer ( mindy100 )
WOW!! This impressive book is for the person who desires to "optimize" their own health. Diana, a Registered Dietitian, and survivor of THREE episodes of cancer herself, discusses the on-going and evolving state of nutrition research and how she uses that information to determine her own "optimal diet" to treat/prevent cancer recurrence. She discloses how she has implemented good nutrition and complementary therapies into her everyday life. She shares her own recipes, serving sizes, sample menus, tips for eating 9+ servings of fruits and vegetables, recipe book sources, her own personal grocery list, dining-out tips, and newsletter, book & internet resource listings. Don't pass up this great help-yourself book!

This book is so helpful that I volunteered to translate it!
When I started reading A Dietitian's Cancer Story, I found it so interesting, well written, and practical that I could not stop until I had finished. Then I thought, what a wonderful information resource from which many people around the world could benefit. It has been a pleasure for me to translate A Dietitian's Cancer Story into Spanish (Historia De Cancer De Una Dietista) which is also now available on Amazon.com. I admire Diana Dyer as a nutrition professional and also as a patient who has gone through a lot to be where she is now: helping many people. The field of cancer and nutrition has been enriched with the book A Dietitian's Cancer Story.

Diana Dyer is a Good Teacher ( panderson4 )
This would be a very helpful book for anyone who wants to improve her or his nutrition, regardless of whether they have cancer or not. The author starts out by teaching the reader how to have a well balanced diet - information everyone needs to know. One of the things I like best about the book is that she acknowledges that research on nutrition and cancer is incomplete, but then goes on to discuss how to include foods that have been shown to be possibly helpful in preventing cancer. The book is packed with useful information and helpful hints to make the dietary changes easier and more enjoyable. Reviewed by Patricia J.

Diana's perspective is truly unique, as she is someone who is not only a health professional but also has firsthand experience with both traditional and complementary approaches to cancer treatment. Her book is packed with not only Diana's personal story but also informative, useful advice for reducing cancer risk and for treatment......I found this book to be both engaging and inspirational. This book would be an invaluable resource for anyone interested in cancer prevention or treatment and recovery.
