Summary:
"Each year, almost twenty million people worldwide receive the grim diagnosis of
cancer
, yet few are prepared for the difficult emotional journey ahead. Shortly after Dr. Charles Hayter graduated as a
cancer
specialist, his father was diagnosed with terminal
cancer
. As with many doctors, he found that his medical training did not prepare him for the anguish and turmoil he witnessed in himself, his
patients
, and their loved ones
--
anguish often worsened by the stigma and shame surrounding
cancer
and radiation. In
Cancer
Confidential, Dr. Hayter shares behind-the-scenes stories of people dealing with
cancer
and
death
--
often through avoidance, denial, and conflict, but also as shining examples of quiet courage, resilience, and humour. The backdrop for the stories is the specialty of radiation oncology. One in three
cancer
patients
will receive radiation therapy, yet it remains a mysterious and often maligned area of medicine. Told in a vivid, dramatic style,
Cancer
Confidential sheds light on this poorly understood field and reveals intimate stories of individuals and their families in difficult circumstances. It will lend insight, compassion, and support to anyone facing the diagnosis of
cancer
."--Publisher.
