The Inside Story of Cancer (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781456777593)

This is a unique story of how a husband and wife both beat cancer. The author of the book has beaten cancer twice and a few years later finds herself in a carer's role when her husband is diagnosed with cancer.

It is a personal story that answers the simple questions that all newly diagnosed patients needs answering. The type of questions that patients are too uncomfortable asking their specialist. These include what it truly feels like to have cancer and go through conventional treatment as well as tackle any side effects. It recognises, in a very open and honest way, the emotional and psychological effect of a cancer diagnosis.

The book is very informative and gives a lot of detail of the variety of approaches the author and her husband followed to tackle a diagnosis of cancer and beat the disease. The book also tells of what it feels like to be a carer. Most importantly, this book is written by a couple who have tackled the disease head on and beaten it and therefore gives a first hand account on the inside story of cancer.
