Description
Being diagnosed with cancer is a shock for patient, family and friends. But it is no longer necessarily the death sentence it used to be. Fiona Castle, widow of TV entertainer Roy Castle, provides a positive and informative guide aimed at anyone having to cope with the illness. She combines practical, emotional and spiritual aspects to provide resourceful and supportive help, and includes such areas as: taking it in and asking the right questions; understanding the facts and how to optimize successful treatment; how to get information and support; treatments and their side effects; living with cancer and the needs of carers; how to help yourself with complementary and alternative therapies; terminal cancer, the fears and preparations; and getting back to ordinary life.
