Synopsis

The shock of finding out that you - or a relative or friend - has cancer can make you feel that life has descended into chaos.

Written by a cancer specialist and a psychotherapist, this book aims to help you make sense of your diagnosis, and to help you move away from chaos towards a situation where you feel you have control back in your life.

This inspiring book explores the use of information, emotional support and the provision of options to help trigger changes in people's lives. It shows you how through shared experience change and movement can emerge from chaos.
