Book Description

30 Sep 2011

This book tells how one woman said 'Bah!' to cancer through thinking strategies, a proactive approach to treatment, and a determination to keep the rest of her life going and retain a sense of humour (most of the time!). It shares everything she learnt along the way, from the nature of cancer cells and chemotherapy drugs, to how she was able to help her friends and family to help her.

'I was never going to die from cancer. That hard lump peeping out of the top of my bra was aggressive but it was small enough to be contained, and I was young and strong and otherwise well. All the signs were good. Words like "lucky" and "caught in time" were thrown around like rice at a wedding. No, I was never going to die from cancer. But from the beginning, I never planned simply to survive it. Oh no. I was going to say a great big Bah! to it. Please, join in.

Cancer? Bah!'

5.0 out of 5 stars Honest, informative, supportive and readable. 3 Oct 2011
By Emme
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
It would be wonderful if you never needed to read this book! That would mean that you or anyone you know was not affected by cancer, sadly this is unlikely to be the case.

This book is honest, informative, supportive and readable. It includes coping strategies, and suggestions, it does not include mumbo-jumbo. I believe this book should be given to every family dealing with and cancer and should be a set text for medical staff , where ever they work.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lifted My Spirits 9 Oct 2011
By Rowena
Format:Kindle Edition
As someone with terminal cancer I found this book very lifting. I am not one for reading books about health or cancer etc however after reading a review on amazon I decided to have a try.

What a refreshing read and I could relate to so much of the book. Many ideas within the book I've adopted and as a result feel a lot more contented with the situation I'm finding myself in. it's not a "fix all" book - more just a fresh approach to looking at the positives within what is often such a dire and horrendous situation to be in.

Have friends who have read it too - they've found it useful too in trying to understand the rollercoaster of emotions i seem to be on on a regular basis.

Would recommend to anyone!

5.0 out of 5 stars a wonderful book 8 Oct 2011
By Karen
Format:Paperback
A wonderful book. Read it if you are facing cancer. Read it if you have already faced cancer. Read it if, like me, you just want to know what so many of your friends and loved ones are facing. Stephanie puts the basic medical stuff clearly and simply, AND she goes into the real `what's it like?' details, all the ones you wonder but don't like to ask, and some of the ones you never even thought of. Along the way she has plenty of good, practical advice for the person with the cancer and their family and friends. All told with wit, warmth, humanity and knitting. Oh, and by the way, have a box of tissues to hand.
