My SIL has been in hospital for 11 weeks with Cancer. She has a tumour at the top of her spine and the wrong movement could cause paralysis so has had to remain in bed all this time. So she's had 1 lot of radiotherapy and 2 lots of chemo so far. She is at a very low point, physically and mentally. Scans show the treatment is working but she can't imagine being better. Can anyone recommend any reading matter written by people who have gone through something similar but who have come out the other side? I'm hoping if she could read about other people's success in beating cancer then maybe she can envisage it happening to her. She needs hope.
