Standing On His Own Two Feet by Sue Grant
Standing on His Own Two Feet offers an insight into how health care systems serve the terminally ill, the choices faced by families, and ways of providing the best possible care at home and maintaining the patient's dignity until the end. In particular, Sue Grant deals sensitively with the care needs of young adults.
"'Although I have been immersed in these issues about 15 years, this book gripped me and moved me profoundlyIt manages to achieve sensitivity without sentimentality, and highlights the humanity and dignity of Alexander and his family, during some very undignified experiences...This book needs to be read by everyone.' - Myrna Whiteson, The Teenage Cancer Trust, UK"
