Product Description

Synopsis
For anyone, a cancer diagnosis elicits fear and an explosion of emotion; John W.Pattison presents a unique and fascinating insight into the trials and tribulations of a cancer patient and the permanent psychological legacy they must accept. A love affair with cancer is a scintillating exploration of the mind of a young, immature adolescent who is gripped by the deathly hold of cancer and its mind numbing consequences. . A true, yet poignant and tearful story, but also funny and inspirational. Everyone needs inspiration in life and John was no different. Throughout his journey, his was music and a band called Hawkwind and who remained a constant driving force during his troubled cancer journey. . His fate was woven into the tapestry of life. On more than one occasion, he was forced to confront his own mortality, yet he made something of an unexpected recovery, but only eight years after that recovery he is devastated by the news that all parents fear, his daughter has terminal leukaemia, leaving him once again to walk the long lonely road of emotional turbulence.However, despite the opinion of the medical experts, Donna goes into a spontaneous remission to become an international swimmer.

. A unique chronicle, unlike any other cancer story ever told. Cancer took hold of his life and manipulated it into what he has become today, a clinical nurse specialist in haematology caring for other individuals with the same cancers that he and Donna had suffered many years earlier, it truly is, a love affair with cancer. . A story of heart-warming exuberance that will stimulate every emotion.

5.0 out of 5 stars Honest appraisal., 7 Mar 2006
I am absolutely speechless having read 'A Love Affair with Cancer. One of the most interesting and mind-blowing books on the market. I dare anyone not to be touched by this impressive and most importantly, true story.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Insperation, 24 April 2007
By J. Wales "Janine" (South Shields U.K.) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I met John and June in 2003 when I was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma; they were of great help to me. While having chemo John was there with a smile and a joke to lighten the mood just what my partner and I needed. This book was really hard for me to read but once I started I couldn't put it down. I felt in places he was talking about my experiences with chemo. I cried and laughed as I related to the treatment and talk of my home town. His story gives inspiration to those fighting this ever more common disease and my copy of the book has been passed on for others to read. John told me when I was diagnosed not to read anything about the disease that was not given to me by the hospital as I would most likely read horror stories and become more worried. Knowing John i don't think he would recommend this book but I think it will help many on their own journey while living with cancer.
