{"product_id":"9781782284086","title":"My Year with Cancer","description":"Be moved! Be inspired! Be encouraged!\u003cp\u003eHere is the true and honest story of a man who out of the blue fell victim to oesophageal cancer in mid-life and fought back. He takes the reader from his incomprehension at the moment of diagnosis, to his bewilderment, then acceptance, the battle and finally the all-clear. He does not spare us the disappointments, the pain, the loneliness, the many difficulties in coping with endless hospital appointments and a dazzling array of treatments and medicaments. But there is also humour and light-heartedness and the courage which propelled him forward in the face of dismaying odds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHe talks about coping with life afterwards with only a fraction of the stomach he had before and a new oesophagus fashioned out of the rest of it: the nausea, the fatigue, the discomfort, teething problems, new surgical interventions ... a journey none of us would willingly undertake but despatched here with humour and determination.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHe pays tribute to friends and members of his family who gave him support and particularly to members of the many medical teams - nurses, doctors, consultants, surgeons, counsellors - from whom he received expertise, TLC and encouragement. On the other hand, he does not disguise what he sees as failures in his treatment at the hands of the NHS.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book will inform, stimulate, hearten and move you to action. The story is lightly told, the style easy on the eye. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn short, it's a great read!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pneuma Springs Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47064526258416,"sku":"9781782284086","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781782284086_p0.jpg?v=1763720529","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781782284086","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
