A cancer diagnosis can seem like the death knell for most. Patients and their caregivers experience confusion, anxiety, uncertainty, distress and morbid fear. What are the strategies they can use to cope with their feelings and emotions and navigate through the chaos caused by cancer? Coping With Cancer is a research-based book which provides practical insights to manage the Big ‘C’. Each concept carries an introductory note, supplemented by real life case studies, almost all of which are based on Indian examples. Every strategy is easy to internalise and practise. The thread running through the narrative is the writer’s personal experience of battling cancer in its most dreaded avatar and emerging victorious. This is a must-have handbook which explores different mechanisms, beyond medical paradigms, to battle the 'emperor of all maladies'.
