If you are reading this, it is likely that you have accepted, or
may be considering responsibility for a relative or friend who has
cancer. This can be a daunting situation, and this guide provides
information and advice to help you deal with the most common
problems faced by carers of cancer patients. It provides answers to
many of the questions you may wish to ask. The author, Dr Welsey
Finegan, was a consultant in palliative medicine before being
diagnosed with cancer himself. This gave him a unique perspective
that enabled him to write the popular "Trust Me I'm a Doctor Cancer
Patient", which is packed with practical and accessible advice for
patients. More recently Dr Finegan has also become a family carer,
and is determined to use his expertise to provide other carers with
a concise source of specialist knowledge.This guide deals with
pain, physical symptoms, psychological problems, death and
bereavement, and it adopts a unique approach to encourage the carer
to work with the patient, doctors and nurses to achieve realistic
and mutually agreed outcomes. You are encouraged to learn about
day-to-day problems, ask relevant questions and take an active part
in sharing the care of the patient. The book will lead you towards
relevant sources of help and advice, and suggests tried and tested
ideas that have helped other patients.
