Previously published as: Doctor, I have a cancer. Can you help me? : a book of hope : true stories. 2006.
'Doctor, I have cancer. Can you help me?' This is the question that Dr Ang Peng Tiam has heard numerous times over the course of his career. In this book, he shows the human face of cancer, relating thejourney of a dozen patients facing their diagnoses, struggling with medical jargon, trying alternative therapies and, for a few, finding out how much time they have left. Some beat the odds, others don't. But their stories reveal strength and grace in the face of despair. Dr Ang offers a compassionate insight into his patients' lives and explains the truth behind the many aspects of cancer, demonstrating that medicine in not only about finding a cure, but beating the disease-on our own terms.
