Face to Face with Cancer: Comfort and Practical Advice for Sufferers and Carers

Marion Stroud draws on personal family experience and the experiences of many others in this practical and approachable book about cancer. She takes the reader through the tests, diagnoses, and treatments, explains the medical hierarchy, and looks at the various options for those who are living with cancer. She considers diet, exercise, and relaxation, and lists agencies that can provide help and support. She also explores the emotional impact of fear, anxiety, and anger, and helps readers to understand themselves, talk honestly and openly, and live life to the full, sharing her own discovery that hope and faith can survive the cancer diagnosis.
