Stories of Cancer and Hope Zusammenfassung

Stories of Cancer and Hope Kevin Donaghy

A treasure trove of hope for anyone affected by cancer.

Stories of Cancer and Hope is a collection of honest stories from people directly affected by cancer, from the devastating impact of the initial diagnosis to the profound effect of the disease and its treatments on emotional and physical wellbeing, as well its effect on loved ones. Among the tears and low points in these pages are laughter and high points, and most of all there is hope. The thirty-nine stories contained here are ultimately uplifting and inspirational because of the many silver linings they offer, written in the words of people who know what it's like to live with the uncertainty of cancer.

If you or one of your family members or friends have been newly diagnosed with cancer, or you know someone affected by cancer, it will become clear that the trauma around cancer can be overcome by reading about others who have been through similar experiences.

At least 1 from each sale copy will be donated to Maggie's cancer centres.

"This book is brilliantly honest, uplifting, and very much in line with the support we offer at our twenty-four centres across the UK. We have been delighted to have an earlier version of the book in our centres, and to share them with those who come to us for support. We are also very grateful that this version of the book will help us support those people at possibly the hardest time of their lives."
