SUMMARY:Cancer Works - Alex Kinnear-Mellor
DESCRIPTION:How do you balance a career with not dying? Join Alex Kinnear-Mellor in a refreshingly real and unexpectedly uplifting conversation about cancer.  \nIn a world where cancer diagnoses are increasingly common among the working-age population\, Alex Kinnear-Mellor delivers an unconventional yet profoundly necessary narrative. ‘Cancer Works’ is not just a book; it’s a lifeline for anyone seeking to balance the colossal weight of cancer with the demands of their career. \nWith heartfelt honesty\, wit\, and unflinching courage\, Alex shares her journey through cancer treatments while keeping her career afloat. This book challenges the traditional narratives surrounding cancer\, offering insights\, advice\, and practical tips on how to navigate the treacherous waters of working life during\nand after a cancer diagnosis. \nEnjoy a short reading of Alex’s book Cancer Works: Balancing your career with not dying\, followed by an informal “ask me anything” discussion\, where no question is off limits\, from the practical to the deeply personal. A relaxed\, no-judgement space to explore the realities of cancer in a way we rarely get to\, and with delicious coffee and cake. \nPlease note that while we strive to be inclusive and accessible to all\, unfortunately\, this venue does not have step-free access.
