Editorial Review
With realism, calmness, and humanity, this book broaches the topic of serious illness, with the author bringing us on `her journey through and beyond illness, her hopes and fears, and the different lessons she learned on the way’. Among the problematic matters examined are the diagnosis the medical profession, family and friends, and most of all, oneself. Circumventing the self-help genre, the author manages to incorporate some very practical wisdom for anyone in such complex and taxing circumstances.
