CUSTOMER REVIEWS:
Good to know if you're stuck in the AMA hamster wheel -
This is an interesting first person perspective of a man's fight against cancer and contains worthwhile information for anyone who finds themselves in similar straits.
I tried strenuously to ignore the author's environmental agenda, which I found exceedingly self-serving. He especially denigrates Bjorn Lomborg's science. Personally, I find Roy Spencer's credentials more impressive than Stephen Schneider's, so I'll accept Spencer's opinion (stated in Climate Confusion) of Lomborg's research (which incidentally is presented in detail in The Skeptical Environmentalist.)
I do however think Dr Schneider might have done better (and certainly avoided destroying his immune system) if he'd looked into the nutritional therapies for cancer. (Yes, he's a by-the-book scientist who doesn't appear to be able to think out of the box of socially acceptable science.)

If you are a cancer patient, this book is a must read.
Only about 10% of doctors are open-minded enough to respond to the incredibly logical arguments that Schneider uses.
If you want the best treatment, you have to take control and you'll need a physician that will help you get the best treatment for you, rather than just give you the "standard dose that we give everyone." This book is invaluable in helping you to get the best treatment.
Too personal to be of general interest -
The book describes the author's struggle with a rare form of cancer. While it may offer moral encouragement to other patients with challenging forms of cancer, it describes an experience that is not applicable to most people. The author went right away to a top oncologist who was willing to listen to him and most of his struggle was to convince her to follow non-standard procedures that the patient thought were better for him. On page 62 he writes "Challenge, question, and cajole your doctor - but never snub her!" Most ordinanry people do not start with a top specialist who is willing to listen to them and their main challenge is to get around incorrect diagnoses and, yes, to change doctors until they find one who can actually help them.
The author is quite critical about the "system" and some of his criticism is valid, but the problem many patients face is doctors who have not kept with the state of the art or who clearly think that patients are a nuissance.
The book is burdened with a lot of irrelevant stories about the author's proefessional life, he does not miss a chance to tell us what a prominent climatolist he is. If you wish to find advice on how to deal with the medical profession I would recommend How Doctors Think. It is written by a medical doctor and it contains advice of much broader applicability.
This book is a lifesaver -
My husband is ill with lymphoma and leukemia, and I read everything I can get my hands on about the illnesses and the medical system. This book is the best I have read for helping you deal effectively with your own experiences and to make the best decisions about doctor, diagnoses, and treatments. The decision-making section is especially helpful, because it points to what information patients and their advocates need, in order to work with the doctors to select treatment protocols that truly fit the needs of the patient.

Clearly, Schneider is not an ordinary patient to begin with, so his is a special case. Nevertheless, there is plenty of good stuff to think about and much good advice given. You can't do it his way, but he can point you in helpful directions.
I enjoyed reading it and learned from it.
