Review Quotes:
"Useful for patients wishing to learn more about different types of chemotherapy and complementary cancer therapies." --Library Journal
"RX for Hope is a book that is long overdue! It provides a rational basis for an enlightened approach to cancer that honors science, nature, the patient, and last, but not least, the physician's code to use all rational means to promote health, and alleviate unnecessary suffering." --Mark Gignac, ND, FABNO "This forward thinking workprovides a full explanation of the benefits of metronomic chemotherapy, showing readers both how it works and why they should consider it when making treatment decisions. It should be applauded." --Paul Reilly, ND; L.Ac; FABNO; Author: How To Prevent and Treat Cancer with Natural Medicine "RX for Hope provides a thorough insight into the aspects of oncology that are often neglected by the modern cancer care establishment despite being instrumental and often successful tools for a segment of cancer patients who haven't been willing to accept the bleak prognosis offered to them. From emphasis on how chemotherapy administration schedule may affect patient outcomes to a broader attention to the effects that one's own immune system has in controlling cancer, this book makes sense of topics that are generally hard to comprehend. A great read for both cancer patients and doctors alike who are searching for solutions beyond the status quo." --Atis Barzdins, M.D., Medical Oncologist "Chen and Tabatsky have provided us with an insightful treatment roadmap for patients who have been diagnosed with cancer. Chen's results should give patients and clinicians pause and reason to review his methodology. Using the newest and best version of chemotherapy delivery, RX for Hope gives patients more hope for better outcomes." --Daniel Junck, M.D. Hospital Physician
