WHEN EVERYTHING FEELS OUT OF YOUR HANDS?
An Oncologist's Guide for Women to Understand, Organize,
and Take Control of Their Cancer Care
"Patients don't need false optimism. They need truth delivered with compassion."
Dr. Troso, Calming The Cancer Chaos

#1 Amazon Best Seller in Nursing Oncology
Calming The Cancer Chaos is the book Dr. Troso wishes she could have handed every patient before her first appointment. In 25+ years at Memorial Sloan Kettering, she
explained diagnoses and treatment plans to thousands of women. She explained carefully, and she drew pictures. She also saw how little of that visit survives the drive
home. This book is the explanation a woman can come back to, at her own pace, as many times as she needs.
It covers every phase of care: diagnosis, treatment, monitoring, and survivorship. Every copy includes the companion workbook, free with the book.

You nodded through the appointment.
You said "okay, okay" while the plan was explained. By the time you reached the parking lot, you could not repeat a word of it. Shock does that to memory, for everyone, on one of the hardest days of a life.
You are afraid of choosing wrong.
Two reasonable options, and a decision that feels like it rests entirely on you. When you understand what each treatment is for and the reasoning behind it, you can follow the logic when your oncologist lays out the options, and ask better questions.
It is 11 p.m. and the laptop is open.
You are piecing it together alone, and wondering how any of this fits into a life that already has a job, a family, and a calendar.
