Book excerpt: The Love Knot is devoted primarily to the partner's side of the cancer story. It is Robert Ross's gift to those who live with the fear, the pain, the uncertainty, and possible loss of the person they love most in the world. Many books have been written on how to be a cancer survivor, on how to make the necessary accommodations to cancer without being defeated by it, on how not to act the victim. Not surprisingly, these books have been written primarily for the person who actually has cancer, but the intrusion of a life-threatening illness like cancer touches a circle of people far beyond the person who has cancer.
