Stories of Hope From the Cancer Clinic, Volume 2
Singapore: Straits Times Press, 2009
ISBN: 9789814266147

These are true stories told by the patients, doctors and counsellors of the Parkway Cancer Centre (PCC) who have undertaken the challenging journey against cancer.

Cancer is one of the most devastating diseases worldwide. The top five most common types are lung, breast, colorectal, stomach and liver cancer. Around the world, more than 10 million people are diagnosed with cancer each year. However, with advances in cancer treatments, those affected can take heart in knowing that they can be successfully cured.

Words of advice and hope take on a more intense meaning when they come from those who have been diagnosed with cancer, and have gone through cycles of treatment, remission and recurrence of the disease. With professional help and counselling, and the support of family members, many of them have beaten the odds to become cancer survivors.

These stories of hope will inspire everyone, whether they are cancer patients, their families or their friends.
