- Reviewed in the United States on January 9, 2020Good advice book for dealing with surviving after partner has cancer
- Reviewed in the United States on September 11, 2023I am several weeks into my role as a caregiver and struggling. After reading the description and reviews this book appeared to be a good resource. This book needs to be purchased the day your loved receives his/her cancer diagnosis. It’s extremely basic for someone with little to no experience in the healthcare world. I don’t use the phrase “caregiving for dummies” condescendingly, but just like all the “for dummies” books it’s extremely basic information. I read the entire booklet in less than an hour, so definitely not worth the price.
