About the Book

'44 1/2 Choices You Can Make If You Have Cancer' is a different and special kind of book for cancer sufferers, their relatives, friends and carers. It is a guide to the emotional and practical problems which arise for people going through cancer. To be used and dipped into whenever needed, it gives you choices when it seems there are none and the prospects look bleak. The tone of '44 1/2 Choices' is light and inspirational, realistic and down-to-earth. It will take you through the difficult times at every stage of the illness: pre-diagnosis, diagnosis, treatment, and after. Complementary to other books on cancer, it is a personal, non-medical guide to make life easier for all who are faced with cancer. It is a constant companion on hand for whenever the going gets tough.
