Aprašymas

A cancer diagnosis is a seismic event, one which propels the person diagnosed into places of suffering, pain and isolation. Life is turned upside down in the present, while the future horizon clouds over with uncertainty and fear. Every two minutes, someone in the UK is diagnosed with cancer but, despite this, it is a disease that is often described as lonely.

In this wise and compassionate book, cancer survivor Gillian Straine proposes that this journey through illness, pain and anxiety be considered as a pilgrimage of discovery. The Christian faith is that we are never abandoned by God, whether that is in the doctor’s waiting room, receiving chemotherapy or lying on the surgeon’s table. By pointing to the glimmers of resurrection hope in remission and beyond, Cancer: A Pilgrim Companion encourages people to find healing in their own story.
