"Each section [of the book] gives a voice to young people, beginning with their experiences of cancer. It looks at the impacts of adolescent cancer on healthcare professionals, an area that is often neglected." (Nursing Standard, March 2009)
"It was about time somebody wrote down all the things that really
matter and all the things that people working in this highly
specialised field really need to know. And this is it! Kelly and
Gibson have pulled together the most comprehensive reference book
you could ask for. It should be prominent on the shelf of everyone
working or training in the field of cancer care with young people
and their families. It's all here, it's all readable and its all
useful. Fantastic!"
-Simon Davies, Chief Executive Officer, Teenage Cancer
Trust
"Speaking as a parent this book has made very interesting
reading. I wish I had had the opportunity to have read this book
whilst my son was actually on treatment, so much makes sense and so
much is explained. It really showed what is "normal " behaviour of
a teenager with cancer and that is so reassuring to read. There are
many lines of the book that rang home as being so true. For example
the view of the 17 year old who said that one had to 'get through
life', not over it, getting on with life, normal life."
-Ginny Macintyre, Parent
