Coping with life after cancer can be tough. The idea that the end of successful treatment brings relief and peace just isn\'t true for countless survivors. Many feel unexpectedly alone, worried and adrift. You\'re supposed to be getting your life \'back on track\' but your life has changed. You have changed.
With reassurance and understanding, Dr Frances Goodhart and Lucy Atkins help readers deal with the emotional fallout of cancer whether it\'s days, months or years since the treatment ended. Drawing on Dr Goodhart\'s extensive experience working in the NHS with cancer survivors, this guide is packed with practical and simple self-help tools to tackle issues such as worry and anxiety, depression and low mood, anger, low self-esteem and body image, relationships and sex, fatigue, sleep and relaxation.
If you are a cancer survivor, this book will support you every step of the way. If you are supporting a loved one, friend, colleague or your patient, this is a vital read.
