Rising to the Challenge of Life After Cancer: Expert Advice for Finding Wellness is an easy-to-read self-help guide for people facing cancer diagnosis and treatment. Following an effective Q&A format and based on a unique Wellbeing Essentials framework, it offers a valuable ‘dip in and out’ approach with signposting to evidence-based guidance on major challenges that those diagnosed with cancer and their family and friends may face. If you or someone close to you has had a cancer diagnosis, then this book is for you.

With a focus on wellness and taking control, questions addressed include ‘Is there a best way to cope with cancer?’, ‘What strategies can help me make an informed decision about treatment?’, ‘What is prehabilitation and how can this help me?’, and ‘Who am I now?’. The book covers an array of essential guidance from maintaining social health and wellbeing, to accessing care and support in the community. It is written for both those living with or beyond cancer as well as their support network. The book also includes Jeff and Suzanne’s personal stories about their lived experience of cancer and a Resources and Connections section with tips for further information and support.

Written by academic experts who are also ‘experts by experience’, this book is indispensable for people with cancer and their families, and anyone wanting to understand more about the condition, as well as health and social care professionals and students of social care, health care and nursing.
