Counseling About Cancer: Strategies for Genetic Counseling

I love this book. I wish the electronic version I bought would convert locations into pages like many electronic books are now doing. Index is not very helpful. I can search the word, but if it comes up 100 times, I don't want to look through all of them. In a traditional book an index lists what page(s) the word is on, but searching with Kindle shows ever time it is in the book. Gets a bit cumbersome, but sometimes this can work to your advantage. Would still purchase again as electronic because I can take it everywhere I go, but wish electronic books would have pages (especially when using for a class) and improve the use of the index (like making it clickable similar to the chapters in the table of contents).

This book was required reading for my training program, but I have used it numerous times since graduation. This is a good resource for any genetic counselor or other medical professional who works with cancer patients.
