When the Diagnosis is
Cancer |
If you find my website information to
be useful, I encourage you to purchase a copy of Speaking
for Spot. It will
provide the fundamental tools and skills you need to
make the most of the information and suggestions
provided on my website and its associated links. Speaking
for Spot will
help you navigate the expensive and often
overwhelming world of veterinary medicine. You will
learn how to effectively hold up your end of the
veterinarian/client communication process, solicit
explanations of the risks and benefits of all
diagnostic and therapeutic options, and have frank
discussion about costs. As an informed medical
advocate, you will have the ability to make the
choice that is best for your pet as well as your own
peace of mind. Speaking for Spot
may be the best $14.00 (through Amazon.com)
you spend in 2010! I would love to hear any ways in
which Speaking
for Spot has
helped you and your pets.
Be sure to read Chapter 8 in Speaking
for Spot entitled "When the Diagnosis
is Cancer." This information will help
guide you in the complicated decision-making
processes that typically accompany the diagnosis and
treatment of cancer.
These additional resources also provide guidance.
