Synopsis

A groundbreaking book, unique in that, as well as David's journey through cancer and the positive outcome, it includes at the end of each chapter Ann's feelings and emotions at the time. These moving reflections help us to understand the role of carers and cancer's often-overlooked effects on them. David informs us of what we might expect at two levels after a diagnosis of cancer. He writes of the medical sequence and issues and of their emotional consequences. We learn of the work of specialists and doctors in traditional medicine and of their teachings in complementary medicine. Having an informed insight into both the hard edge of surgery and a protected lifestyle for his future, David shares here, in a readable and entertaining style, what he learned. A remarkably open book which allows the reader to really understand the feelings of David and Ann and empathise with them.
