Item Description

By Peter Goldsworthy
ANF 616.994GOL

 A GP of forty years' practice, as well as one of Australia's most awarded and celebrated writers, Goldsworthy) brings his charact eristic black humour and storytelling power to the tale of his own cancer journey.
Never one to waste a story, Peter intersperses his own experience with odd and astonishing case stories of patients and literary friends who have trodden the same path- both cautionary tales and exemplary tales, sometimes laugh-out-loud, sometimes deeply moving, that intersect with, or refract, his own travels through denial, acceptance, treatment and survival.
