"Cancer is not just a disease; it is a journey-a journey fraught with challenges, uncertainties and profound emotional upheavals. For those who face it, cancer reshapes lives, not only altering the course of one's physical health but also stirring the deepest realms of the human spirit. As an oncologist, I have walked alongside countless individuals on this journey, witnessing their courage, resilience and the battles they fight, both seen and unseen.

This book is a reflection of that journey, an attempt to shed light on the multifaceted world of oncology from the perspective of a clinician who has been in the trenches. But it's more than just a medical discourse-it's a compassionate exploration of the emotional and psychological landscapes that both patients and their families traverse.

The chapters are organised to guide you through the emotional rollercoaster that accompanies a cancer diagnosis, dispel common myths that often cloud judgment and provide practical advice on navigating the complexities of treatment. This book is for anyone touched by cancer patients, caregivers, medical professionals and those simply seeking to understand this formidable foe better."
