The Elephant in the Room is a collection of short stories that
creatively communicate the cancer patient's journey. The stories, based
on real-life accounts, are built around the idiosyncratic relationships
between patients and their doctors. Using humor, empathy and wisdom,
Jonathan Waxman explores the very human side of cancer as well as
providing expert commentary on the clinical aspects of diagnosis and
therapy of this disease. These stories comfort and entertain, inform and
engage, and are a treat to read for anyone whose life has been affected
by cancer.
