Customer Reviews
Brilliant little booklet
This brilliantly written and beautifully illustrated booklet should be made compulsory reading for all healthcare professionals in training many of whom are anxious when first communicating with patients with life threatening disease such as cancer.
Not just useful for healthcare professionals
While I am not a healthcare professional I read this book with interest as I have managed and am currently managing staff that have been diagnosed with cancer. The book has given me plenty to reflect upon and consider. It is an unfortunate inevitability that I’ll have to support someone and their coworkers through this illness again. I feel better prepared for that occasion.
