Cancer Rights Law : A Tool for Effective Navigation, Second Edition by Monica Fawzy Doran and Joanna Fawzy Doran
Description
The legal issues arising from a cancer diagnosis are wide and varied, including a number of separate areas of law such as employment, insurance, government benefits, consumer rights, and estate planning. Cancer Rights Law is designed to create greater awareness of these legal issues and to cultivate more advocates to assist cancer survivors and their families, friends, and caregivers in navigating those issues.
In the context of a cancer diagnosis, an understanding of your rights can mean the difference between losing your job, your health insurance, or even your home. And in its most extreme case, it can be the difference between getting access to care or losing your life.
This is the first book of its kind to comprehensively address these legal topics through the lens of cancer diagnosis.

Why It Matters
This book was written specifically for cancer patients, survivors, and the people who support them. It's not a legal textbook — it's a practical guide to understanding your rights at one of the most vulnerable moments of your life. Knowing what you're entitled to, and when to speak up, can protect your income, your coverage, and your access to care.
Because fighting cancer is hard enough. You shouldn't have to fight for your rights at the same time.
