Reviews

"It dos not seek to replace texts on cancer treatment and cancer nursing but to complement these texts by offering a 'different perspective'. In this it succeeds and will add to the canon on cancer care not just for nurses but other allied professions."
Journal of Advanced Nursing

"This book offers a unique insight into cancer nursing starting with what cancer is, through the potential impact for the patient and family of a cancer diagnosis, the treatment of modalities and their side effects and onto survivor guilt and palliative care."
Michael Coughlan, The Adelaide & Meath Hospital, Dublin
