ABOUT THE BOOK
No one is ever truly prepared for a cancer diagnosis. The moment you hear the dreaded 'C' word, everything changes. The ground falls away from under you, and you're left breathless with shock, confused by all the questions that suddenly spring to mind.
How do you break the news to loved ones? What does the diagnosis actually mean? What is the treatment plan? What is my prognosis? What can I do to support myself through the cancer journey ahead?
'Live Brave - Conquer Cancer, Claim Your Power' is designed to provide practical, tactical solutions to those questions and a coping strategy that puts anyone dealing with the unthinkable back in the driving seat to manage their diagnosis with the grace and fortitude required to triumph.
