Book ID/图书代码： 07980011B47539

English Summary/英文概要： Coping with life after cancer can be tough. The idea that the end of successful treatment brings relief and peace just isn’t true for countless survivors. Many feel unexpectedly alone, worried and adrift. You’re supposed to be getting your life “back on track” but your life has changed. You have changed.

With reassurance and understanding, Dr Frances Goodhart and Lucy Atkins help readers deal with the emotional fallout of cancer whether it’s days, months or years since the treatment ended. Drawing on Dr Goodhart’s extensive experience working in the NHS with cancer survivors, this guide is packed with practical and simple self-help tools to tackle issues such as worry and anxiety, depression and low mood, anger, low self-esteem and body image, relationships and sex, fatigue, sleep and relaxation.

If you are a cancer survivor, this book will support you every step of the way. If you are supporting a loved one, friend, colleague or your patient, this is a vital read.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 癌症患者後期心理照料指南

抗癌過程是段長期的身心煎熬，病患的奮戰並沒有隨著治療結束而告終，接下來的心理重建是更大挑戰。結束療程的病患身上，多半感受不到重生的喜悅。因為治療關係，切除身體某部份，造成形體殘缺、功能喪失等....令病患難以接受，常容易產生自卑、絕望感。另外，憂心癌症隨時復發，造成許多病患只要身體有一點風吹草動，就處於疑神疑鬼的狀態。最糟糕的狀況是害怕醫院中的一切，逃避定期回診。
本書的兩位作者多年來的紀錄指出，上述狀況在經歷生死交戰後的病人身上屬於正常現象。由此可知心理因素在治療時，甚至是復原之路上有很大的影響力。透過本書，患者、家屬可以認識並試圖解決這些狀況。重新學習調整步伐，接受全新的自己，找回生活目標。(Vincent)

Awards/获奖情况：

As a GP, I wish I could write a prescription for this book for every single person who has ever confronted and then survived cancer. The emotional fallout and psychological readjustment after cancer endures for years and impinges on many different facets of everyday personal and family life. Doctors and nurses can put you back together physically after cancer, but until now, emotional after-care has been badly lacking. Not any more. This book is the companion you need. It takes you gently by the hand and explains calmly and reassuringly exactly why you feel like you do and what you can change to put it right. Friendly, truthful, reliable and practical, I heartily recommend it. --Dr Hilary Jones, GP and medical broadcaster

This book’s practical, insightful tips and guidance are essential reading for anyone diagnosed with cancer who wants to learn coping strategies for those inevitable bleak moments, and for anyone who wants to understand what cancer sufferers are going through --Julia Palca, Chairman, Macmillan Cancer Support and cancer survivor

OK - here’s a given: when you hear the word cancer from your doctor, the emotional onslaught is such that it’s hard to take much in, let alone ask those questions that may seem trivial to others, but that overwhelm you at 3a.m. That’s why this book is great: practical, easy-to-follow ideas and information that you won’t necessarily find on any one website, and that can help you feel more in control and less a victim. I’m proud to have contributed in some small way to a much needed, down-to-earth and valuable book --Trisha Goddard
