Modern medicine has developed solutions that allow cancer patients to live longer lives, but depression and anxiety often make these years painful and difficult. This book develops the techniques of behaviour activation therapy into practical activities people recovering from cancer can use to recognize and overcome problems with depression and anxiety. Relieved from these two sources of emotional pain and limitation, readers of this book will be able to live life fully and apply their energy to the task of getting better. The concept of behaviour activation is deceptively simple: By reconnecting with naturally occurring sources of pleasure-in other words, by engaging in activities they already know they enjoy doing-individuals are able literally to replace feelings of depression and anxiety with feelings of accomplishment and contentedness.Successes build on one another, creating a model for ever more positive feelings in the future. ...

In 1992, American author Marilyn French, a smoker for 48 years, was diagnosed as having cancer of the oesophagus, which is almost always fatal, and was told she had only a year to live. Five years later, having battled with chemotherapy, radiotherapy, a heart attack and a breaking back, she was still alive - and, remarkably, her body showed no sign of cancer. This is her account of the fight against disease and death.
'A vigorous book' -- Mary Margaret McCabe,

'The strangest thing about A SEASON IN HELL is that, even though it is a meticulous catalogue of her descent into this other, diminished, way of life ... it ends up being immensely cheering' -- Maureen Freely,

Cancer care today often provides state-of-the-science biomedical treatment, but fails to address the psychological and social (psychosocial) problems associated with the illness. This failure can compromise the effectiveness of health care and thereby adversely affect the health of cancer patients.
Psychological and social problems created or exacerbated by cancer - including depression and other emotional problems; lack of information or skills needed to manage the illness; lack of transportation or other resources; and disruptions in work, school, and family life - cause additional suffering, weaken adherence to prescribed treatments, and threaten patients' return to health.
Today, it is not possible to deliver high-quality cancer care without using existing approaches, tools, and resources to address patients' psychosocial health needs. All patients with cancer and their families should expect and receive cancer care that ...

In early 2006, Lia Mills went to the dentist, worried about a painful lump in her cheek. "In Your Face" is her account of what happened next: a diagnosis of oral cancer; surgery to remove the tumour and reconstruct her jaw; a broken leg that came about as a result of a bone graft and that went undiagnosed for several weeks; radiotherapy and resulting illness; and, finally, recovery. Based on the journals she kept even when she was feeling her worst, "In Your Face" gives an extraordinary day-by-day account of what Lia went through. It also observes more beauty and comedy in the world than most of us notice even when we're feeling our best. It is not so much a book about cancer as a book about life. It should be read by anyone who wants to understand illness and recovery, fear and hope and love.

Now, in a personal and deeply affecting memoir, Elizabeth writes of her family's extraordinary experience of this dreadful disease. Writing not only as a daughter, sister and aunt of those afflicted and bereaved by cancer, but as a sufferer herself, she will tell of the shocks, sadnesses, dilemmas and uncertainties that come with diagnosis and then treatment.
