I found this book very easy to read and very helpful:
Getting Well Again-a step-by step self help guide to overcoming cancer for patients and their families by Carl Simonton. Stephanie Matthews-Simonton and James L. Creighton
The book is about the mind-body connection and how to use it to promote healing. It also discusses the link between stress and illness, helps to use relaxation technique and imagery to help with the recovery process.
You can order it from Amazon.co.uk:

Hi, I would like to recomment this book to absolutel everybody: You the Healer: The World-Famous Silva Method on How to Heal Yourself and Others

I wanted to do everything to get me through the treatment. I was not sure whether or not this was going to work, but I trusted my friend who bought this book for me. I believe the exercise sessiones in this booked helped me to remain positive as much as I could.

I received an email from somebody recommending this book: I will Not be broken

I had a look at the website and I think the book is worth recommending to others, even though it was not written by somebody affected by cancer.

From a leader of the Nobel Peace Prize-winning movement to ban landmines and founder of Survivor Corps comes an astoundingly effective guide to recreating a happy and fulfilling life after catastrophe strikes—a book that Bob and Lee Woodruff call “a road map for the individual and their family to re-enter the land of the living.” In I WILL NOT BE BROKEN, Jerry White reframes the question “why do bad things happen to good people?” and asks, given that bad things do happen, how do people absorb the blows and move through them?

Tragedy happens to everyone. Whether it’s the loss of a loved one, a painful divorce, or a serious injury, we all face unavoidable moments that divide our lives into “before” and “after.” These events take a heavy toll on everyone, but there are those who have muscled their way through tough times and emerged stronger, wiser—even grateful for their struggle. Jerry White is one such example. In 1984, he lost his leg—and almost his life—in a landmine accident, and has personally endured the pain of loss and the challenge of rebuilding.

As co-founder of Survivor Corps, White has connected with thousands of victims of tragedy, and in I WILL NOT BE BROKEN, he shares their collective wisdom, which he distills into an effective five-step program for turning tragedy into triumph.
