Comments
Ex-cancer patient Anja van Eijk writes: ‘The book is well written and I recognise many of my own experiences in it.’ An Australian GP: ‘I see very few cancer patients and my job is to make sure their general health is ok, exclude recognised causes of tiredness and take it from there. If they are still tired it's not easy for GPs to make further suggestions and this could be where your book will be useful.’
