And with so much conflicting information now available – who can we really trust for sensible medical advice anyway?
‘We wholeheartedly recommend The Cancer Roadmap’ The Bone Cancer Research Trust
‘This book is essential, both a courageous no-nonsense companion and a comforting balm.’ Donna Ashworth
We all want certainty and hope for ourselves or those we love after a cancer diagnosis, but what we really need is honesty and truth.
In The Cancer Roadmap, breast cancer surgeon and three-time cancer patient Dr Liz O’Riordan confronts the big cancer truths (and myths), offering clear, evidence-based answers. She breaks down the latest research to give the facts you need to make informed treatment decisions that are right for you or your loved one.
She gives definitive answers to common questions such as:
- Is it your fault you got cancer?
- Do you need to stop drinking alcohol?
- Can you cure cancer by changing your diet?
- Does alternative medicine work better than chemo?
Dr Liz also suggests meaningful, practical steps to reduce the risk of future recurrence, even when the odds feel stacked against you.
Let her guide you through your cancer journey with confidence and clarity, and give you the best chance of your cure.
