Reviews
Older Survivors of Cancer: Feeling Understood by Sharing Experiences is an important book in that it addresses the issues that older people face as they move forward from a diagnosis of cancer. All too often the struggles that people over 65 years of age deal with are dismissed and overlooked. This book also speaks to the vital concerns of minority and underserved populations of cancer survivors whose voices all too often go unheard. The power of sharing the stories of older cancer survivors provides solace from the aloneness and lack of understanding that can be the experience of older survivors of cancer. --Cheryl Krauter, MFT, Author of Surviving the Storm: A Workbook for Telling Your Cancer Story and Psychosocial Care of Cancer Survivors: A Clinician's Guide and Workbook for Providing Wholehearted Care
