Samenvatting:

When treatment ends, the fear often doesn't.

Even after the scans are clear, many people living with cancer find that their mind remains on high alert - waiting, watching, worrying. Why does this happen, and how can we begin to feel safe again?In The Mind With Cancer, consultant psychiatrist and psycho-oncology specialist Dr Daniel Anderson explains what happens to the body and mind when cancer feels like a threat - and how understanding that process can help you find calm.

Drawing on the latest research in trauma, attachment, and neuroscience, as well as years of work with patients at The Christie NHS Foundation Trust, Dr Anderson offers clear explanations and gentle guidance for managing fear, rebuilding trust, and reconnecting with life.This compassionate, practical book will help you to:

- Understand the body's natural alarm system and why it stays switched on- Recognise how trauma and uncertainty shape thoughts and emotions- Use simple grounding and self-soothing techniques to calm fear- Strengthen relationships and rebuild trust with others - and with yourself- Discover growth, meaning, and hope beyond treatment

The Mind With Cancer is not about positive thinking - it is about realistic hope: learning how to live well, even when life feels uncertain."Fear is not weakness - it is evidence of how deeply we care about life.
Understanding that truth is where healing begins."
