As with many doctors, he found that his medical training did not prepare him for the anguish and turmoil he witnessed in himself, his patients, and their loved ones – anguish often worsened by the stigma and shame surrounding cancer and radiation. In \u003ci\u003eCancer Confidential\u003c\/i\u003e, Dr. Hayter shares behind-the-scenes stories of people dealing with cancer and death – often through avoidance, denial, and conflict, but also as shining examples of quiet courage, resilience, and humour.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe backdrop for the stories is the specialty of radiation oncology.
