Lean on Me: Cancer through a Carer's Eyes, a book written by Lorraine Kember, is a powerfully moving and inspirational true story about her husband's courageous battle with mesothelioma (asbestos related cancer) and her emotional journey as she cares for him. This touching book includes helpful information on topics such as: cancer pain management, symptom control, palliative care, quality of life, Coping with grief. Diary excerpts and poems Lorraine penned along the way are interspersed throughout this book and further depict the depth of their love for each other, the sense of helplessness she experienced on his diagnosis and her growing strength as she comes to realize that there is much she can do to improve the “quality of his life”. This book has been highly recommended by the Cancer Council, as well as numerous other organizations and doctors for those who have – and particularly those who care for – loved ones with cancer of all kinds.
