Need a good cancer reference book

I need help from you oncology nurses. My dad is in recovery from colon ca w/mets and my mom just got diagnosed with uterine ca and today we decided to defer radiation d/t quality of life issues. And my wife's sister has small oat cell in the lungs w/mets and non-compliance.

What I would like to know is if there is a 'best' nursing/medical oncology reference that is affordable (I'm an LTC LPN and my wife does home care) and authoritative on the units. I plan to buy it online and used will do.

Please respond quickly, when it comes to family members getting ill I just get frozen like a deer in the headlights, big eyes and running in the wrong direction and everything

call the American Cancer Society, explain your situation and I feel confident they will refer you to some helpful books.

You might also think about a local college's library - or is there a medical school near you? Most hospitals also have a medical library for staff and public use and can help you. This would give you access to more info and for free.

Hoping the best for your family.
