Summary:
"Diagnosed with a late-stage cancer, after years of bungled and inadequate medical attention, and then to discover that the best-practice chemotherapy is not available in your province. After her delayed diagnosis of colorectal cancer,
Robin
McGee
reaches out to her community using a blog entitled "
Robin
's Cancer Olympics." Often uplifting and humourous, the blog posts and responses follow her into the harsh landscape of cancer treatment, medical regulation, and provincial politics. If she and her supporters are to be successful in lobbying the government for the chemotherapy, she must overcome many formidable and frightening hurdles. And time is running out. A true story, The Cancer Olympics is a suspenseful and poignant treatment of an unthinkable situation, an account of advocacy and survival that explores our deepest values regarding democracy, medicine, and friendship."--Back cover.
"Dr.
Robin
McGee
is a clinical psychologist. She lives in Port Williams, Nova Scotia."--Provided by publisher.
