Heroic Struggle: Coping with Chronic Illnesses guides a reader into
living with a life-long disorder or disease. This is inspired by the
personal experiences of the writer, who has beaten the odds, suffering
from eczema for 14 years. It opens with a real-life situation and offers
tips and insights for sufferers of chronic illness, victims, carers,
families, friends, medical practitioners and institutions. It provides
tangible approaches and coping mechanisms which different actors may and
should adapt in such an adverse situation. Coping with chronic illnesses
is not only a daunting task but rather an endeavour worth the label of a
heroic struggle.
