A cancer diagnosis has more than physical effects; it can cause a torrent of unexpected, unfamiliar emotions felt by both the patient and those who care for them. The Cancer Companion is a compassionate, down-to-earth guide for those navigating these difficult and complex emotions. It takes psychological interventions shown to be appropriate and helpful in the management of cancer-related distress and provides an effective framework for patients and their loved ones to be able to apply these interventions in their own lives. The book is written in short, concise chapters, organised in four sections: - diagnosis and treatment - ending treatment - managing advanced disease - strategies to manage the specific psychological components which may occur (including anxiety, depression, sleep disturbance and management of relationships). With over a decade of experience working with cancer patients and their families, author Toni Lindsay understands that accessible, constructive emotional guidance is vital. This simple structure, combined with the book’s comprehensive approach, aims to help people find a companionate commentary on their situation, and to engage with the outlined strategies. The Cancer Companion is a comforting, constructive, and jargon-free guide which will have a lasting and meaningful impact on the mental wellbeing of anyone whose life has been affected by cancer.

Cancer. It’s the diagnosis no one wants to hear. Unfortunately though, these days most of us have known or will know someone who receives it. But what’s next? With the diagnosis comes not only fear and uncertainty, but numerous questions, and a lot of unsolicited advice. With A Cancer Companion, esteemed oncologist Ranjana Srivastava is here to help, bringing both experience and honesty to guide cancer patients and their families through this labyrinth of questions and treatments. With candor and compassion, Srivastava provides an approachable and authoritative reference. She begins with the big questions, like what cancer actually is, and she moves on to offer very practical advice on how to find an oncologist, what to expect during and after treatments, and how to manage pain, diet, and exercise. She discusses in detail the different therapies for cancers and why some cancers are inoperable, and she skillfully addresses the emotional toll of the disease. She speaks clearly and directly to cancer patients, caretakers, and their loved ones, offering straightforward information and insight, something that many oncologists can’t always convey in the office.

Dr Rosy Daniel, former medical director of the Bristol Cancer Help Centre, has written a comprehensive book on the holistic approach to the prevention of cancer, which is factual, upbeat and completely practical. She describes exactly what cancer is, who is at risk and why prevention and not treatment is the only real solution to the war on cancer. She then guides the reader step by step through removing the risk factors from their lives and she goes on to describe how to work to achieve positive health through the eradication of stress and the use of energy medicines, healthy eating, self-help approaches and exercise, and stresses the crucial importance of the state of mind and spirit on the body. Dr Daniel asserts that it is vital that all those wishing to prevent cancer learn from the examples of those who have had it, and act now to get their lives fully back on track, in order to revive their defence mechanisms and prevent this awful disease. By taking a hard look at the causes of cancer one is left in no doubt whatsoever as to why and how cancer has reached such horrendous epidemic proportions, affecting four in ten of us in our lifetime. This is a highly positive book which will provoke a great deal of thought and highly constructive action in all who read it.

Each year, more than 1 and a half million Americans alone will hear the words "you have cancer." These three small words inevitably signal dramatic changes for the rest of life, setting in motion a chain of events that are often unnecessarily plagued by confusion. For every one of these patients, and their families, Ranjana Srivastava offers an empathic and expert field guide to this uncharted terrain. With wisdom and warmth, Srivastava demystifies the labyrinthine world of the illness. What is cancer and how is it treated? Why isn't cancer always operable? How should diagnoses be shared with children? What is the best diet during and after treatment? How can pain be managed? These basic questions are often overrun by the complexity of the oncological world, and the limits of office visits and doctor schedules. This book then becomes an ideal companion, and portable patient advocate, that makes the experience of cancer diagnosis, treatment, and recovery comprehensible.
