The Cancer Companion walks alongside cancer patients and their loved ones through the mental and emotional toil of this devastating diagnosis. Based on decades of working directly with patients who have cancer, O’Dwyer offers both patients and their loved ones a text from which they can find healing, guidance, and compassion.
The Cancer Companion is a definitive and inspirational book designed to help patients, partners, family, and work colleagues navigate the trials and difficulties associated with cancer and its treatment. With over forty years’ worth of experience to her name, O’Dwyer writes about cancer with humanity and clarity, helping to combat the myths and misinformation surrounding the disease in an age of information overload. Adopting an integrated biological and psychological perspective, O’Dwyer highlights the person at the heart of every treatment, providing helpful advice and shared experiences that are able to destigmatize the shame, fear and denial faced by those affected by cancer. The Cancer Companion is an empowering and informative book for all those whose lives and loved ones have been touched by cancer.
