Understanding, Managing, and Living With Malignant Wounds

Understanding, Managing, and Living with Malignant Wounds was written to assist patients and caregivers who encounter these conditions in hopes that they will receive and provide better care than was initially given to the author. 

Cancer takes many faces, requires many responses, and challenges the patient and the care giver in many ways. While malignant wounds are uncommon, knowledge of how to care for them is inadequate. At last, here is a handbook that not only helps the patient and the care provider to understand the basic issues, but also provides practical approaches to the many problems of skin that has been invaded by disease.

Sherry A. Clark wrote this gift of a book after being diagnosed with breast cancer in 1993 and suffering four separate recurrences. After surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy, sadly, Sherry was left with malignant wounds. IManaging their symptoms and problems has been difficult, in part because we lacked clear and “common sense” educational materials.

Now we have this excellent and helpful resource, a legacy from an amazing, eloquent author.
