This book is about that sort of 'both/and' approach to the challenge of living with cancer. Starting with a recognition of the lived experience of diagnosis and treatment, a crucial part of 'being heard', it moves on to discuss how, by using solution-focused thinking, life may be lived well, whether it's for a very short or, ultimately, a very long time. Written in an informal style, as if the reader is taking part in a chatty, but powerfully effective appointment, it is for people of any age who have, or have had, cancer, as well as their families and friends. The book includes information and suggestions for health professionals who seek to help these people, and will also be highly relevant to other profoundly life-changing conditions.
