Close to half of us will now experience cancer in our lifetime and although many books are written about living with cancer, the story of the emotional impact is rarely told. The Feeling of Cancer is a psychotherapist’s deeply personal and human exploration of her inner world to reveal cancer’s emotional impact – to self, to life, to family, and ultimately to identity.
It’s a story that captures something fundamental and unique about dealing with a life-changing illness and facing your own mortality day-to-day.
Sandra believes that if we can put our feelings into words, then ultimately we can better understand not just our own needs, but help those around us to understand, encouraging empathy, compassion and support from others along the way.
“I really related to this book and in three ways – as a haematologist, an author, and a friend/family member of others with myeloma and cancer. It’s a compelling, enlightening account of the emotional landscape of living with cancer.
– Eileen Merriman, haematologist and author
This book would appeal to many family members and close friends of those who have been diagnosed with cancer, and undoubtedly, will appeal to those who are living with a diagnosis of cancer.”
“A moving, forecful human account of facing our greatest fears and finding a way to navigate them towards inner peace.”
– Mandy Hager, author
