Under Cover of Darkness

<p>Not only is this book an inspiring survival manual for cancer patients but its humour and objectivity make it a choice read for anyone who enjoys real-life drama and pathos. Diagnosed with Mantle Cell Lymphoma in 2012 the author resorted to a blog to keep in touch with friends and unwittingly ended up writing about the good the bad and the ugly side of cancer which attracted many followers. Is there a good? Very possibly. Bad and ugly definitely. There is also an extremely funny side - wry observations that brought humour into an otherwise bleak landscape which included chemotherapy and a stem cell transplant. The author is also blessed with a big following from the Mind Body Spirit community of which she is a part (including Judy Hall Anita Moorjani Dolores Ashcroft-Nowicki); from this outpouring of expert support came advice on nutrition and alternative therapies which help to make this an invaluable source of information for cancer patients and their carers.</p>
