This book tells how one woman said 'Bah ' to cancer through thinking strategies, a proactive approach to treatment and a determination to keep the rest of her life going and retain a sense of humour (most of the time ).

There's still a part of us that thinks surviving cancer is a bit of freakish good fortune - the equivalent of having a cannonball go right through your middle and living to tell the tale - and so often it's hard to know how to 'do' life after cancer. 'Thrive' focuses on moving on from a major physical and psychological trauma.
