Working in universities, these three women knew how to speak up. But in Cancer World, their voices were often unheard. As they negotiated medical hierarchies, ‘scanxiety’, gender bias, ongoing treatments and confronting diagnoses, they met others who felt the same. In \u003ci\u003eBeing Patient\u003c\/i\u003e, Na’ama, Louise and Siobhan share their own stories and talk to people about their experiences as patients and carers in \u003ci\u003eCancer World\u003c\/i\u003e. Including stories from cancer experts – nurses, surgeons, radiologists, oncologists and researchers – \u003ci\u003eBeing Patient\u003c\/i\u003e is unflinching and uplifting and offers unvarnished views of living with cancer from ‘both sides of the desk’.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"NewSouth Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52670775230744,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/being-patient-close-encounters-in-cancer-world-paperback-softback-9781742237916","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
