Valerie Volk offers a moving and compassionate record of sharing the cancer journey with a loved one, from initial diagnosis, through the chemotherapy months, to the triumph of a happy ending. In almost fifty poems, accompanied by colour photography, she explores the strong feelings, from the first disbelief and confusion, through stages of fear and distress, sometimes anger, and always uncertainty about what the next day will bring. It is a sensitive account that will resonate with anyone who has any involvement with cancer, or who has been in love.
