Is your family your life? And your loved ones’ survival? If so you may, in certain situations, be required to fight the system within the National Health Service! And the people that run it. This autobiography gives an honest account of what it is like to try and make sure your family or friends have at least a fighting chance of recovery from their illnesses and live, regardless of their age or disability. It also deals with having to be prepared many times for the possibility of being extremely unpopular with the various health fraternity groups in this country when fighting for your loved one’s rights to dignity and care. In a very personal account the author describes her battles following her husband’s stroke and son’s cancer diagnosis. It is a story of how to survive what life can throw at you, how a given situation will test your determination and tenacity, and the attitudes of the professionals in different fields of medical and nursing treatment and care.

The author also covers details of her own treatment for breast cancer along with her experiences and emotions. Her story is most likely akin to many who have had, or who are fighting, this cruel animal that preys within our bodies.

In essence, the book asks the difficult question, is there a two tier Health Care System in this country? Furthermore do the families that shout the loudest possibly receive better nursing care for their loved ones?

While allowing the reader to make up their own mind on those issues, the author covers many aspects of this subject and recounts her experiences over a number of years. ‘To Life’ is written with complete honesty and also covers her fears of possible reprisal from the various groups involved. However, she comes to the conclusion that “if we don’t speak up but just sit on the fence things don’t improve, so I feel we have to bite the bullet at some stage, as others have done, and tell it as it is, and not as many would like it recorded. I have experienced the National Health Service and other health organisations at their very best from excellent nursing care and then at its lowest standard of being most dangerous to the patients in its care, which has been totally due to poor management and the attitude of some nurses”.

The author hopes that after reading this book it will also arm you, the reader, with the courage if necessary to fight against the establishment’s negative and poor nursing care if at any stage throughout your life, or your loved ones’ lives, you encounter that situation.

Included in the book, however, are also memories of many moving and funny family situations which remind us that life is good regardless of the trials and tribulations we all experience, so we must grasp and keep hold of life.
