I second Maurice Suhre's recommendation for GETTING WELL AGAIN.  I would
only add:

	the adjunct methods discussed in the book can be generalized to
fit any serious disease.  The underlying theme is that the patient does
have some control over his/her body and how it reacts to the disease.

	this book is an excellent book for people close to the patient.
It discusses how to support the patient in following the methods, and in
making the choices inherent in the situation,  particularly the choice to 
die.  In addition, it gave my family a common basis from which to start 
talking at a time when we were all facing some pretty scary times.
