From Both Ends of the Stethoscope by Kathleen Thompson

WINER OF WORDS FOR THE WOUNDED BOK AWARD 2016 and WINER OF JANEY LOVES 2017 PLATINUM AWARDS (RADIO 2'S JANEY LE GRACE)
Kathleen Thompson--Medical Doctor, Drug Researcher and Breast Cancer Patient-- uses her own cancer experience to guide the reader through diagnosis and treatment, both when things go smoothly, and when they don't.
Recognising that anyone diagnosed with cancer is in a state of shock, she delivers factual information intermingled with her own story, in an easily-digestible, and often amusing format. Each chapter ends with further information sources and a summary.
She explains medical research and how to assess the credibility of the numerous cancer treatment claims, and what we can all do to protect ourselves from cancer.
Using honesty, humour and compassion, she demystifies hospital procedures and treatments and empowers the reader to TAKE CONTROL, so they can work with their doctors to achieve best care.

Thompson, Kathleen: - Kathleen Thompson is an independent scholar, writing mainly on French and English history of the twelfth century. Her research interests have generally centred on the history of the western European aristocracy and began with a study of the Norman nobles who followed William the Conqueror in 1066. This led to a study of their origins in western France and the themes of 'la mutation', the changes of the year 1000 and the fragmented power structures which emerged from the Carolingian empire. Like many other scholars of her generation she has explored issues of gender, women's studies and family dynamics. She has published papers in French and English periodicals, contributed to conferences in France and England and is the author of Power and Border Lordship: The History of the County of the Perche, c.1066-1217 (2002). She was joint editor of Normandy and its Neighbours, 900-1250: Essays for David Bates (2011) and the Annual Bibliography of Historical Literature (2004-10). She is a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries of London and of the Royal Historical Society, and writes on the local history of Bristol under her family name of Kathleen Hapgood. She is a Senior Policy Adviser at the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE).
