From her own experience and out of her conversations with fellow members of the Cancer ClubA" comes this anthology of supremely practical examples of ways in which friends and family, often themselves reeling from the shock of the diagnosis and feeling just as helpless and at a loss to know what to do, can make a real, substantial difference.
This is an incredible book for anyone who has a friend or relative with cancer or other serious disease. I've read it several times over the years, and have to keep buying a new copy as I repeatedly give mine away. Do be aware though, that this is a book from the UK, and the parts about available services are not useful for US readers. The insights, however are invaluable.
