Synopsis

All those involved in cancer care are repeatedly astonished by what the human frame can support and the human spirit can endure. Everyone looks forward to the time when the treatment of cancer, that pernicious and elusive enemy, will not require fiercely toxic and distressing therapy. The sustained, heroic strength and endurance of Kevin Haugh, and he would agree of his family, in his efforts to reach once again towards good health are vividly and honestly described. He states, "You have to feel the experience to understand." Yet his personal reactions to cancer and treatment, the importance of support of family, work colleagues and his community and the strong collaboration and concern of an expert medical team are all recorded with such sincerity that this book will go a considerable way to promote understanding by everyone, not just people with cancer. For this Kevin Haugh deserves thanks and admiration and for the grandeur of his physical and mental bravery, our applause. - Professor Niall O'Higgins, Chairman, UL Hospitals Group Board
