“Own Your Cancer is a call to arms for those recently diagnosed. Dr. Peter Edelstein’s deep well of experience as a cancer surgeon, coupled with his strong voice, combine to create an authentic, knowledgeable, and detailed text of how to navigate the early days of cancer diagnosis: those must-dos and those never-dos. This isn’t your mother’s cancer self-help book. His mano-a-mano, direct style is best thought of as advice from your buddy who always has the right answers and is unafraid to tell you so.” —Rick Boulay, MD, division director of gynecologic oncology, Lehigh Valley Health Network
“Being a doctor is one thing. Being a doctor who ‘gets it’ is entirely another. Dr. Peter Edelstein’s experience, perspective, and attitude clearly separate him from the pack, and this book embodies just that—a no-nonsense and disruptive take on the traditional ‘Welcome To Cancer’ book that no one reads anyway.” —Matthew Zachary, founder, StupidCancer.org
