Ambitious in its forms and disciplinary insights, this is health humanities writing of real value. An accessible, rich and real range of stories tells us what it is like to experience breast cancer. This book is for patients, clinicians and people who live close to this condition - and that really means all of us. (Professor Jane Macnaughton, Institute for Medical Humanities, Durham University) This is a wonderful collection of essays describing every aspect of breast cancer care, written by patients and the people who treat them. It is full of warmth, empathy and honesty, and will gently guide anyone through a diagnosis of breast cancer. (Dr. Liz O'Riordan, author of The Complete Guide to Breast Cancer)
