Book excerpt: Dr. Steven Q. Wang, a world-renowned skin cancer expert, provides an essential guide for people with melanoma and their families. The book’s unique, practical format approaches the disease in two phases, just as people with melanoma need to do. First comes a step-by-step guide for what Dr. Wang calls the "mad rush" phase—an intense and stressful period from diagnosis to completing initial treatment. Dr. Wang's calm guidance helps readers through this critical time, using an easy to understand plan for ensuring optimal treatment and survival outcomes. Once the mad rush phase is over, the "marathon phase" begins—life resumes its normal shape but with lingering concerns about new melanoma and metastases. Here Dr. Wang addresses common questions about prevention and prognosis. Beating Melanoma offers current research in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of melanoma; photographs of different kinds of skin cancers; and a readable narrative that demystifies everything from the pathology report to the stages of cancer. The only book to outline detailed instructions for melanoma patients at all stages of their disease, it is a guide that people with melanoma will turn to with confidence.

Book excerpt: Win the Fight: Stomp Out Melanoma is an all-encompassing book that covers everything from melanoma skin cancer risk factors and diagnosis procedures to living well after treatment. With greater public awareness, early detection of melanoma skin cancer is on the rise while mortality rates are declining. This medical guide emphasizes that all patients should be well-informed decision-makers in their own treatment. It is updated with the latest patient treatment guidelines along with an advanced dictionary of cancer-related terms and critical questions to ask your health-care administrator Melanoma Specialist, Dr. Deepak Narayan, a renowned skin cancer expert and Surgical Oncologist, joined forces with Fitness and Metabolic Expert, spiritual mentor, and award-winning author Lisa Lynn to provide patients and their families with everything they need to know to Stomp Out Melanoma and Win the Fight against this deadly disease. Lynn's perspective as a former melanoma patient offers the unique perspective of both survivor and thriver. This book also offers insight into the emotional issues that directly affect treatment success and provides the healthy steps needed to win this battle, while staying healthy for life physically, mentally, and spiritually. The practical format approaches the disease in phases, making it easier for melanoma patients to comprehend. It starts with a step-by-step process that Dr. Narayan refers to the "you just found out phase." This is the most stressful and intense phase that ranges from the diagnosis to initial treatment. Dr. Narayan's peaceful "keep it simple" approach helps patients and readers through this intense, critical time, with an easy-to-understand plan to help maximize cancer treatment with holistic nutrition, exercise, and stress reduction. Win the Fight does not stop there, however. After the initial phase is over the "real life, ongoing phase" begins. Life resumes its normal pace but, as most patients will admit, there is nothing normal about life anymore. They would all admit to living life with fears and lingering concerns about a new melanoma popping up, as well as metastasis. Both Dr. Narayan and Lynn address the common questions and fears while emphasizing that prevention is the ultimate cure. Win the Fight is a must-have guide for real people who are afflicted with any disease that affects the quality of life. More importantly, it brings hope to patients, families and caregivers. It offers a road map that leads to both surviving and thriving.
