Coping with the Psychological Effects of Cancer
by Professor Robert Bor, Dr Carina Eriksen, Ceilidh Stapelkamp
Cancer affects more than one in three of us. Until recently, the emphasis has been on battling cancer physically. Today, there is increasing recognition of the emotional aspect of having cancer, and survivorship and its issues are hot topics. This book tackles a sensitive subject in an upfront and practical way that acknowledges the uncomfortable and painful emotions associated with cancer.
‘This is a superb book that sets out to help patients and families cope with cancer and the increasingly complex treatment options available to them. It focuses on their emotional, spiritual and psychological needs as well as their physical needs. The three authors, who are all very experienced in this field, draw these threads together into a resource that is extremely helpful whether the reader is a patient, a carer or a health professional.’
Dr Paul Ellis, Consultant Medical Oncologist, Guy’s Hospital, London
Consultant Oncologist, the London Oncology Clinic
‘The psychological and emotional impact of cancer are what really define the individual nature of the illness. This book addresses these in great depth and with a fresh and positive outlook that I believe will provide many patients with real help. I highly recommend this book for patients, carers and health professionals.’
Dr David Landau, Consultant Clinical Oncologist, Guys & St Thomas NHS Trust, London
