The Love Knot: Ties that Bind Cancer PartnersJones & Bartlett Learning, 2001 - 152 páginas Many books have been written on how to be a cancer survivor, on how to make the necessary accommodations to the illness without being defeat ed, and on how not to be a victim. But the intrusion of a life-threate ning illness like cancer touches a circle of people far beyond the per son who has cancer. Even though the partnerFs role is equally difficul t to play, there is no book devoted to the partner living with cancer victim. That is why Robert Ross wrote Cancer Partner: The Life of the Other Person in Cancer. He shares his own story of how he coped with h is wifeFs cancer and how he dealt with her loss. It also includes stor ies from twenty-five other cancer partners. |
