Reviews
“This book is about what the NHS doesn't tell you but what as a cancer patient you need to know. It is also a fascinating autobiography and medical history by one of the most famous cancer specialists in the country.” - Professor Angus Dalgleish, St. George’s Hospital, London.
“At last a reliable source of impartial advice which will empower patients to take control of their cancer treatment. The more patients understand the more they can take back control, get the best treatment for their cancer and move positively on. This book is just what we need. All patients should read it, understand their cancer and what they can do to help themselves.” - Professor Pat Price, Christie Hospital, Manchester.
“It perfectly fulfils its purpose. And what a mind, what a man, what an authority Sikora is!” – Professor John Vincent.
