N2  - Cancer affects more than one in three of us. Until recently, the emphasis has been on battling cancer physically. Today, there is increasing recognition of the emotional aspect of having cancer, and survivorship and its issues are hot topics. This book tackles a sensitive subject in an upfront and practical way that acknowledges the uncomfortable and painful emotions associated with cancer. Topics include: the emotional impact of cancer; coping with distressing thoughts and feelings; changing unhelpful behaviours and learning to relax; family and couple relationships; coping with advanced and terminal illness
