Living with Cancer

Told in the style of a modern prose drama, Living with Cancer: Jonathan's Way recounts the life and death of fifteen year old Jonathan James who, in 2001, fearlessly refused chemotherapy treatment for terminal cancer. Insightful and unusually wise Jonathan, along with his mother, Vicki, take us on an intimate journey through the last eighteen months of his life which, although spiritually driven, is portrayed in a highly truthful and realistic way. Their unique slant on the world coupled with practical common sense and a steadfast faith in the strength of the human spirit will not fail to uplift, inspire and enlighten the terminally ill; those afraid of death; the spiritually curious; the bereaved; all levels of the medical profession but especially palliative care teams; bereavement experts; counsellors; and carers of all kinds including the long-suffering family and friends of the sick and dying.
