Expert/Press Reviews for Cervical Cancer The Essential Guide

'I found this book to be extremely informative and a comforting read for anyone going through the trauma of cervical cancer. It is an excellent quick reference guide and does not go over the top but treats the subject matter sympathetically. would recommend this book to anyone wishing to find out more whether it be the patient or their family.' Louise, reader

'As someone who has had their own brush with CIN3, I am always on the lookout for good books aimed at those who want to inform and empower themselves around the issue of smear tests, positive smear results and cervical cancer. So I am delighted at this new addition to a currently under-resourced field. Three adjectives describe the book: compassionate, comprehensive, cancer-focused.' Susan Quilliam - The Journal of Family Planning and Reproductive Health Care
