Phuket to Everest - Dancing in the Rain - Cath Shinton

A devoted wife's personal diary of every day life since my husband was diagnosed with terminal prostate cancer whilst on holiday in Thailand during March 2011 - the negligence of our own GP during the previous six years and my fight to get the justice so much deserved by my husband. It follows his treatments and their side effects, including the sudden onset of life limiting acute heart failure, and much later, the onset of diabetes. Together we have successfully fought our corner against certain medics - had dealings with the GMC - and for the past three years, I have thoroughly researched the disease in an effort to support our litigation case. Incidents and situations have arisen along the way which, had we not been personally affected, would have been considered works of fiction. It's been sad - harrowing - traumatic - but mostly borne with black humour and dogged determination to defy not only this hideous disease, but also the medics who gave us such a poor outlook.
