Carcinoid Cancer, Zebras and Stardust: My Sister's Cancer Battle

Carcinoid cancer is a rare disease with approximately 8,000 cases reported in the U.S. alone each year. Because of its rarity and slow-growing tendencies, carcinoid is often improperly diagnosed, and when diagnosed, treated incorrectly. This is the story of one person's relentless battle against carcinoid, and of the author's struggle to come to terms with the death of her beloved sister. Inside, you'll also find the words of some of the world's top carcinoid specialists, invaluable reference data, and a comprehensive list of the top carcinoid specialists. Recently updated for 2012 and beyond by Unlimited Publishing LLC, new resources and treatments are now included, which were not available at the time of initial publication.
