Summary
"It's cancer." Dr Philippa Kaye was 39 years old when she heard those dreaded words. The diagnosis of bowel cancer would change her life and mean crossing the divide from being a doctor to being a patient. She soon discovered that her years of training and experience had not prepared her for the realities of actually living with cancer.
Doctors Get Cancer Too tells Dr Kaye's moving story of being on both sides of the desk, and shares the insights she gained not only through the diagnosis and treatment but in surviving and thriving through cancer and beyond. Filled with practical advice, this book aims to make patients and their loved ones feel better understood, more prepared and less alone, and to provide solace for anyone navigating their way through hard times.

Healing, emotional & informative
Wow. What a ‘journey’ - yes, there’s that word again. As someone who’s been through a similar experience, I found listening to this incredibly moving, cathartic, informative, REAL, and in many ways, like a form of counselling. Philippa, you wrote and spoke words that I have never been able to. It was like hearing my own thoughts and feelings being spoken by someone else. Comforting yet heartbreaking, and then full of joy. A truly engaging listen from start to finish, an emotional rollercoaster, incredibly well written & ‘performed’. Thank you.

Sincere, moving, helpful
I found this book extremely helpful and very honest. It is particularly moving as it is read by the author herself and the sincerity of all the emotions/struggles she has been through are felt in her voice. Having a rare form of appendix cancer myself I can relate to the massive operation the author had and I found it very reassuring to hear how through the profound pain/loneliness etc, she came through the other side. I am so thankful she has been willing to share her story.
