Janie Brown has put into book form 30 years of experience of caring for cancer sufferers and their loved ones
"You have cancer" are three words heard by 1,000 families every day in the UK. For most people, a cancer diagnosis lands as suddenly as a tree falling on a windy night in the forest, out of the blue, with little if any warning. The news of cancer fells a person and like the tree, the diagnosis takes many others down with it. Cancer happens to one person's body and affects every aspect of that person's life. Cancer also happens to partners, spouses, loved ones and friends whose lives are similarly changed forever. Many people are cured from cancer, and those who are not seek the courage to face the ends of their lives, with the support and wisdom of their community.
