 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.

 A
Brush With Life – By Teh Siew Lin
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

Cancer Guide: A Resource for Patients and Loved Ones
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.”
