My name is Iain. When I was diagnosed with cancer, a thought popped into my head. I’ll write a book. I don’t know where the thought came from. The thought didn’t disappear. The book began to appear.
“Living with the C World” is a quirky “chocolate box” of diversions and anecdotes from my battle with ‘The Big C’.
My fellow travellers will be familiar with a lot of Chapter 1. Other readers, friends and family are invited to listen in. There’s nothing squeamish or embarrassing and it’s not all gloom and doom – more like a gentle meander and a chance to smell the roses.
The bulk of the book is about escaping from the Cancer world – out from the pages of Chapter 1 and into Diverse Diversions. If you think that the list of Diverse Diversions, as shown in the contents, is pretty weird, you would be quite right. The only factor in common is that each diversion occurred to me post-diagnosis.
For my own periods of waiting, I found I could not hold my concentration in a book. Too many interruptions and distractions. I lost the plot.
This book is designed for dipping into. All the diversions are stand-alone and not sequential. Start with anyone at any time. It’s not a whodunnit and there is no risk of a spoiler.
Above all, remember that all profits go to Cancer Research UK Ltd (CRUK).
Back in the 50s, there was just the big C. There was hope, even expectation, that scientists would crack this disease once and for all.
No. It seemed that scientists were losing, even failing.
No. Science is winning. It’s just bloody difficult and complicated. The wonder of nature and the human body. More discoveries only seem to lead to more things to discover.
Science is expensive, so please help.
Buy a copy of this book for your friends. It makes a great present. Or make a gift, with gift aid, to CRUK. If you really feel charitable, consider your will.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to moluna, Greven, Germany, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
