Approximately 53% of cancer patients are diagnosed when 65 years or older, yet no attempt to explore the experience of older cancer survivors has been made. This thoughtful, respectful book seeks to reduce older cancer patients' and survivors' feeling of aloneness and of not being understood by sharing narratives of other older cancer survivors' experiences.

Alice B. Kornblith, PhD is a Social Psychologist whose area of interest over the past 20 years has been the quality of life of cancer patients with a special focus on the older patient. Much of her career involved examining cancer patients' quality of life while on clinical (treatment) trials. More recently, she has turned her attention to listening to older cancer patients' own words concerning the impact of cancer on their lives.
