Anxiety, confusion, resentment - these are the feelings that a person inevitably experiences when he hears a terrible diagnosis from a doctor. From this moment on, a long, difficult and dangerous road to recovery begins for him - a road on which physical discomfort sometimes becomes inseparable from mental discomfort. The book by Belgian psychotherapist and doctor Thierry Jansen will become a reliable guide on this path. How to build relationships with loved ones during illness? How to maintain a positive outlook on the world? How to mitigate unpleasant side effects of treatment? Based on materials from work with women with breast cancer, Jansen’s book will be primarily useful to patients suffering from this particular disease, as well as their families. However, many of the author’s tips are truly universal and can be useful to every person who is faced with a serious illness or other difficult situation in life.
