With more than 40% of people eventually facing a cancer diagnosis,
Conversing with Cancer is a much-needed addition to understanding
and improving cancer care through strong communication among
providers, patients, and caregivers. Each person whose life is
affected by a cancer diagnosis-patient, healthcare provider,
caregiver-has information and needs information in order to make
the best decisions possible under the circumstances. After studying
and writing about the topics of communication and cancer for many
years separately, authors Lisa Sparks and Anna Leahy combine their
expertise in this new tour de force. Here, they apply principles
from the field of health communication to the cancer care
experience, drawing from a wide range of scholarship to offer a
comprehensive view of cancer care communication and extend existing
work into new insights. Engaging chapters cover all phases of the
journey through cancer, from prevention to recovery or end-of-life;
analyze the roles of the variety of cultural and social identities
and relationships; and explore written, verbal, non-verbal, and
electronic communication. In addition, this book draws from the
real-life stories of cancer patients themselves to enrich the
book's unique discussions and to better understand how theory can
be put into practice. Conversing with Cancer is ideal for use in
health communication classes, medical and nursing programs, and
formal caregiver training. In addition, it is useful for cancer
patient and caregiver supports groups and for individual providers,
patients, and caregivers.
