By the Book: World Cancer Day

Upon a diagnosis of cancer, many things tend to come one's way. Specifically, recommendations and advice, not least of all for what you should be eating, and what you should be reading. In this episode of By the Book, we're joined by Dr. Murallitharan Munisamy to discuss the relationship between being a cancer patient (or being part of their family) and books, and give some gentle recommendations of our own.
