Product Description

Product Description

Thyroid Cancer For Beginners I hope will be informative for anyone newly diagnosed.  It charts my four-year journey from first finding a lump in my neck, through surgery to remove the thyroid gland and subsequently being given a diagnosis of papillary thyroid cancer.  Also, the reader will find out what happens during radioactive Iodine treatment, and how I felt at the time after having to undergo further surgery to remove cancerous lymph nodes some two years later. It includes snippets of family life, and the effect my illness had on my immediate family.

Format:Paperback
Reading this book was like sitting down with a nice cuppa and a knowing friend who explained just what happens and what its like to have thyroid cancer in a really easy to grasp way. She doesn't shy away from the messy stuff, but at the same time includes all the technical jargon and information one needs to know. She shares her journey from before the diagnosis through the sometimes bleak and exhausting years of treatment in such an upbeat way that anyone involved with a recent diagnosis would feel empowered and more optimistic having read it. It would be a good book to give to worried family members; it takes the fear out of the subject as she writes with a gentle loving humour about even the most scary aspects.

Human Touch 15 May 2009
Format:Paperback
This was a very frank and honest book. It manages to mix the technical with the practical while at the same time conveying how the diagnosis affects the whole family. This gives the book a very human touch that makes it very readable.
