Rezensionen

"Whenever I hear that Anne Katz is authoring another book, I get excited by the prospect. Her insights into the challenges faced by young people with cancer and their families is unsurpassed. This promises to be another tour de force that will provide a foundation for learning about the parent-partner perspective for professional staff, advocates, young people with cancer and their families around the world"

Simon Davies, Executive Director, Teen Cancer America

"Supporting parents and partners of young adults diagnosed with cancer, even if essential, is often overlooked. This book changes that. Caring for a young adult going through such a life altering experience is not easy and can feel overwhelming. Dr. Katz offers a road map that can provide guidance and a sense of direction. The stories she shares, aligned with some solid evidence-based advice, can not only impact caregivers, but can change how the young adult experiences cancer."

Geoff Eaton, Executive Director, Young Adult Cancer Canada.

"Dr Anne has always been ahead of her time. Without her leadership and her influence as one of the earliest subject matter experts in sexual health and cancer survivorship, today's conversations would not be the same. Thank you for thoughtful leadership."

Matthew Zachary, Founder and Ex-CEO, Stupid Cancer
