"This is an amazing book, a veritable treasure trove of information for cancer patients, for their friends and families. It is a very detailed description of the various cancers that can afflict us all and the various approaches to their treatments. It is written by a lay person who, after a struggle for many years with complex biological therapy and chemotherapy, has conquered a form of chronic leukaemia and subsequent non-small cell lung cancer. He has devoted more than a decade of his life to finding out more about cancer and how such knowledge can help individual patients cope with the fear and difficulties of their treatments. In this book, he offers a gift of knowledge and understanding that makes the struggle easier and perhaps more worthwhile for patients."
