Expert/Press Reviews for Cervical Cancer The Essential Guide

'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

'This addition to the excellent Need 2 Know range of guides is recommended as a first stop for those with cervical cancer, as well as their familes and friends. It is ideal because, when you have just been diagnosed, the last thing you need is a weighty textbook.Written by a surviver of cervical caner, this guide takes woman through the entire process of cervical health check-ups and diagnosis to treatment options and aftercare. Mary Lunnen's style is sensible, readable and friendly. Nurses and nursing students will find this a ready guide to enhance their knowledge, the Need 2 Know serise should be in every nursing labrary.'
