WINNER OF WORDS FOR THE WOUNDED BOOK AWARD 2016 and WINNER OF JANEY LOVES 2017 PLATINUM AWARDS (RADIO 2'S JANEY LEE GRACE) Kathleen Thompson-Medical Doctor, Drug Researcher and Breast Cancer Patient- uses her own cancer experience to guide the reader through diagnosis and treatment, both when things go smoothly, and when they don't. Recognising that anyone diagnosed with cancer is in a state of shock, she delivers factual information intermingled with her own story, in an easily-digestible, and often amusing format. Each chapter ends with further information sources and a summary. She explains medical research and how to assess the credibility of the numerous cancer treatment claims, and what we can all do to protect ourselves from cancer. Using honesty, humour and compassion, she demystifies hospital procedures and treatments and empowers the reader to TAKE CONTROL, so they can work with their doctors to achieve best care. | From Both Ends Of The Stethoscope by Kathleen Thompson, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
