What I wish I knew About Cancer

Every 29 seconds, someone in the world is
diagnosed with cancer and, in an instant, they
have to come to terms with a whole new future.

To help make this adjustment just that little bit
easier, here is a collection of real advice from real
people who have all had first hand experience at
the pointy end of cancer. What I Wish I Knew about
Cancer talks with survivors, pre-viviors, partners,
husbands, wives, children, researchers, and
medical professionals and asks them all, “If you
could go back and give your younger self some
advice about preventing, treating and/or outlasting
cancer, what would it be?” It then goes on to
describe their cancer journey, and how they came
to their particular insights.

The result is another inspirational What I Wish I Knew
book full of the wisdom of hindsight that would help
anyone facing this disease. It also has advice on
how to better our chances of never hearing those
fateful words, “I’m sorry, you have cancer.”

What I Wish I Knew about Cancer has been
produced to support Tour de Cure, Australia’s
leading cycling foundation. Tour de Cure has so far, raised over $4 million in cash contributions towards research,
support and prevention of cancer in men, women and children. The authors are proud to donate all their royalties
to curing this indiscriminate, stubborn and, let’s face it, bloody obnoxious disease.
