Sandra Russell is from the UK and lives in Auckland, New Zealand with her husband and family. In The Feeling of Cancer she brings together her different areas of expertise: a BA in English Literature (First Class Hons) and a Masters in Health Science, Psychotherapy (First Class Hons). The Feeling of Cancer was written to the requirements of a Masters of Creative Writing (First Class Hons) where she made the Dean’s List. However, this is by no means an academic book, but a human story told with depth from the heart, which she hopes readers will relate to.

Sandra spent many years working as a Registered Psychotherapist with adults, couples and families and had a thriving practice when a diagnosis of incurable cancer propelled her into a different life with an uncertain future. Having spent her working life helping others manage in times of emotional crisis, she found herself having to navigate through the turmoil of diagnosis, treatment and beyond. The Feeling of Cancer is Sandra’s honest and frank account of how she did that.
