    Crossing the Phantom Pass

    A Cancer Journey

    Julia Kwong

    With academic rigour and accessible prose, and centring knowledge as power, Kwong recounts her experience of receiving a breast cancer diagnosis and undergoing treatment while her father is in the last stage of metastasized prostate cancer. She reflects on the medical process and comments on the health-care system while exploring the uniqueness, as well as the commonalities, embedded in each cancer patient’s experience.
