Under Cover of Darkness: How I Blogged My Way Through Mantle Cell Lymphoma

This is an inspiring survival manual for cancer patients, but also a choice read for anyone who enjoys real-life drama and pathos. Diagnosed with Mantle Cell Lymphoma in 2012 the author started a blog to keep in touch with friends, and unwittingly ended up writing about the good, the bad and the ugly side of cancer, which attracted many followers. Is there a good? Very possibly. Bad and ugly, definitely. There is also an extremely funny side - wry observations that brought humour into an otherwise bleak landscape which included chemotherapy and a stem cell transplant. The blog resulted in an outpouring of expert support with advice on nutrition and alternative therapies, all of which help to make this an invaluable source of information for cancer patients and their carers.
