 iagnosis with cancer is just the beginning of a journey that can be made much more bearable with the existence of palliative care groups, support groups and counseling centres. The caregivers of those with cancer also need support, encouragement and should not be forgotten.

Teh Siew Lin has never had problems with words, but expressing herself in watercolour is definitely a novel experience for her. At the height of her professional career as a Chartered Accountant she was diagnosed with cancer. She finds herself on new ground with this book. "A Brush With Life" started off as a collection of Siew Lin's "hobby-paintings” over the past two years. It evolved into this publication, which reflects her own very personal journey

Angela Lanza dedicated her whole nursing career to cancer patients and families. She says, “I have been blessed in knowing many loving and courageous people. Caring for these special people has given me real experiences that no text book could ever teach. I have seen how patients and families struggle through diagnosis, treatment, and successes and failures of having cancer. I don't claim to know everything about cancer, but I would like to share my knowledge, experiences, and feelings with others to help make the journey easier.”More here! | | International Union Against Cancer (UICC) |
