Publisher's Synopsis
What is it like to encounter cancer? How does it feel to face the unknown, to enter a world of hope, loss and dread? From the diagnosis of his childhood friend's mother to his poignant memories in the lab, David Scadden's seen the unknown world of cancer from the lens of a young boy, a classmate, a researcher, a friend, a doctor and a neighbour. In 'Canderland', Scadden chronicles his personal memories of cancer - his visits to his sick neighbour and his classmate who left school and never came back.
