About this title

Synopsis

This book aims to give an insight into what cancer means to an individual with cancer, to health professionals or to family or carers. There is so much to learn and understand about the diagnosis of cancer, its treatment and how the health services work, that it’s easy to feel daunted by the whole process. This is when information can help in finding answers to troubling questions. The book is illuminated by personal accounts from people who have experienced cancer. Taking Control of Cancer aims to diminish some of the fears surrounding cancer that make communication difficult and as a result enable people to feel more comfortable when talking about cancer and realize that what they feel is not unique to them.
